Can someone please confirm Circumvesuviana train schedule between Napoli Centrale and Sorrento for Easter Sunday April 4. Any service after 17:00? If not what transportation other than private car is available after 17:00, bus, hydrofoil? If nothing what is reasonable cost for private car, taxi? Have tried to contact Circumvesuviana but no response. Web sight isn't clear on schedule.

The trains will be running until late evening. The people of Naples need public transport on a holiday. Times are at www.vesuviana.it

Thanks for the quick reply sydneynick!

Yes I agree is seems trains to Sorrento should be running Easter evening for locals. Attached below is 2008 post on tripadvisor as to why I'm supicious of vesuviana.it schedule. It shows no trains after 12:39. Do you have other information? "Winter schedule" on vesuviana.it shows Sorrento train depart Napoli at 17:43, 18:11 & 18:41 but I'm not sure if this includes Sunday or Easter holiday.

Thanks!

The Circumvesuviana is showing trains at 17:10 and 17:42 (and later) from Garibaldi F.S. in Naples to Sorrento on April 4.

I specifically asked the Circumvesuviana timetable planner for evening times on 4 April, and got the results referred to in post 1. If the train operator's web site does not have correct information about its own trains.......

Meanwhile, in the other Italy.... on ringing the Circumvesuviana call centre just now, the answer to my "what's happening on that Sunday?" question was that - as yet - it's too early to say whether the service would run for the entire day, or just half !

And on asking when that information would be available, I was told it would be "towards the end of March".....

I'd suggest you continue to check their site, where - eventually - the Easter details should appear!

The English pages start here: http://www.vesuviana.it/web/en

Better still, contact them yourself before finally deciding how to travel - there's an Italian free phone number:

Just in case though, get yourself a copy of the Alilauro hydrofoil schedule - whose current version is available from the PDF link here:

http://www.alilauro.it/index.php?lingua=english

The one on offer at present is valid until 31st March - so wait perhaps until the next version goes up?

I have to agree totally with Peter. There is the Italy of official information on web sites and printed publicity; and then there is the Italy that deals with what is actually happening....

With local elections quite possibly changing who runs many of the local institutions before the end of the month, it's quite surprising they'll even concede that there is a railway!

But it isn't only Italy - for instance, how can being Easter or not still depend on where and when it is that you're looking?

You are tempting me to start a rant on the irrationality of the superstition called Christianity, but TA would almost certainly delete it.
