The new rail station at Napoli Afragola is designed as one of southern Italy’s key interchange stations, serving four high-speed intercity lines, three interregional lines and a local commuter line.

In addition to the planned high-speed rail services connecting Bari and Reggio Calabria with the north of Italy and Europe, by 2022 new rail infrastructure will create an important hub at Napoli Afragola serving the entire Campania region by integrating the southern expansion of Italy’s high-speed rail network with the Napoli Cancello line and the Circumvesuviana commuter railway extension.
