Bad weather has interrupted rail service on the conventional Naples–Salerno line via Cava de' Tirreni. The suspension affects the section between Nocera Inferiore and Salerno, following a landslide near Vietri sul Mare.

Italian railway infrastructure manager RFI reported the suspension, which was also reported independently by local and national outlets on 11 October 2026.

What is suspended

Traffic is suspended on the conventional line via Cava de' Tirreni between Nocera Inferiore and Salerno.

Regional trains on the affected section may be subject to route restrictions, diversions or cancellations. The sources do not clarify whether all services on the section are suspended for the same duration.

No resumption time has been announced in the sources reviewed.

Replacement buses

Replacement buses have been activated for connections between the locations affected by the interruption.

Journey times on replacement buses are expected to vary according to road traffic. No complete replacement-bus timetable or station-by-station operating plan is provided in the sources.

Travellers using the Nocera Inferiore–Salerno section should allow extra time and check current service information before travelling.

Why this area is vulnerable right now

The interruption comes during a period of localised hydrogeological risk in Campania. Campania Civil Protection extended a yellow weather alert, warning that saturated soils and recent weather conditions could cause localised instability, rockfalls and occasional landslides in the Sorrentine-Amalfi Peninsula and surrounding areas.

That broader alert does not describe the exact point, size or technical condition of the landslide near Vietri sul Mare, which remains unspecified in the available reports.

What to check before you travel

  • Confirm the current status of regional trains between Nocera Inferiore and Salerno before setting out.
  • Expect restrictions, rerouting or cancellations rather than a normal timetable on the affected section.
  • If travelling by replacement bus, expect travel times to depend on road conditions.

The available reports do not provide further operational details. Updates on timing, the condition of the affected site and the full bus arrangement have not yet been published in the sources reviewed.
