The new railway station under construction in the Collepiano area of Torrecuso will officially be called "Torrecuso-Ponte," according to a report by Benevento broadcaster NTR24.
The station lies entirely within the municipality of Torrecuso, in the province of Benevento, and is intended to replace the existing Ponte-Casalduni station. NTR24 reports that the confirmation came from Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI).
How the name was decided
The naming decision followed an administrative process initiated by the Municipality of Torrecuso. That process included a council-government request in February 2026 and subsequent discussions involving RFI and the Campania Region.
NTR24 reports the RFI communication confirming the name as dated 22 June 2026. The full text of that communication was not reproduced in the acquired sources, so this article relies on NTR24's account of the confirmation.
Where the station fits in the Naples–Bari project
The station is connected to the Frasso Telesino–Vitulano section of the Naples–Bari rail project. Works in the Telese–Vitulano area include doubling approximately 19 kilometres of line between Telese and Vitulano, according to FSNews.
FSNews identifies three new stops in those works as Solopaca, San Lorenzo Maggiore and Ponte Casalduni. FS Italiane separately lists the Telese–San Lorenzo Maggiore section as under construction, with activation planned in phases from 2028.
Readers following project documents may therefore encounter both "Torrecuso-Ponte" and "Ponte Casalduni" in coverage of this area. The relationship between the officially confirmed station name "Torrecuso-Ponte" and the project label "Ponte Casalduni" should be checked against final station plans and signage.
Why the wider line matters for travellers
The broader Naples–Bari project is designed to double and upgrade the line to improve accessibility between Campania and Puglia. FS Italiane states that the expected Naples–Bari rail journey time is approximately two hours once the work is complete.
For passengers in the Benevento and Sannio area, the practical significance is a modernised station on a modernised section of line, replacing the existing Ponte-Casalduni facility. Current service arrangements during construction were not detailed in the acquired sources.
What is not yet known
The exact opening date of Torrecuso-Ponte and the first passenger services have not been stated in the acquired sources. The final timetable, service frequency and train operators serving the station are also not yet documented.
Travellers should rely on final RFI and operator announcements for opening dates, stopping patterns and ticketing before planning journeys through the new station.
