The Roma-Civita Castellana-Viterbo line (sometimes called the Roma-Nord line) began life as narrow gauge tram running from Piazza della Libertà in Rome to Civita Castellana. However the next stretch of the line, to Viterbo, was built as a railway and over the years the tram section was converted into a railway as well.
A process which concluded with the moving of the Roman terminus from the street-level terminus at Piazza della Libertà across the river to a new underground station in Piazza Flaminia, beside the subsequently constructed metro A line station, after the Second World War. The line is currently operated in two modes: as an urban service from Piazza Flaminia to Montebello, and as an suburban service from Piazza Flaminia to Viterbo. The urban service operates with a frequency of about one train every 10 minutes, while the suburban service operates considerably less frequently, with less than a third of the trains making the full two and a half hour journey from Rome to Viterbo. The Rome-Viterbo line is regional railway, which carries 75,000 passengers a day from Rome to Viterbo.
Urban section
Service on the urban section starts at 05:45am and ends at 10:54pm, except for Sundays and public holidays when rides run from 05:50am to 10.10pm. This line provides 188 daily trips with a train leaving every 8 minutes during rush-hour. Each trip is approx. 20 minutes.
Extra-urban section
Service on the extra-urban section starts at 05:45am and ends at 11:06pm, except for Sundays and public holidays when trains run from 06:13am to 11.33pm. This line provides 43 daily trips with a train leaving every 25 minutes during rush-hour. Each trip is approx. 155 minutes long. |
