On 8 October 2026, rail services on the Vesuvian and Phlegraean lines were thrown into confusion after EAV first suspended trains because of an orange weather alert and then announced that traffic had resumed.
According to local press reporting, EAV had planned to stop railway services on the two networks from 15:00 as a precaution linked to the bad-weather alert.
Replacement bus services were announced to cover the suspension. Services on the Napoli–Piedimonte and Piscinola–Aversa routes were reported as remaining operational.
The stoppage caused disruption at Napoli Piazza Garibaldi, with uncertainty among passengers and irregular replacement-bus operations in the initial phase.
EAV later announced the resumption of rail traffic on the Vesuvian and Phlegraean lines. Delays and timetable changes remained possible during the return to normal operations.
What is not yet established from the available documents is the exact duration of the suspension, the number of trains affected, the precise replacement-bus timetable, or the full extent of delays after the restart. The EAV archive pages checked do not independently display the specific suspension or restart notice for 8 October 2026.
Travellers should check EAV's official railway infomobility page and Vesuvian-lines notices for current service changes, delays, cancellations and replacement buses before travelling.
