The route operates over the infrastructure of the Rome–Formia–Naples and Albano–Nettuno railways. Within the territory of the comune of Rome, it plays the role of a commuter railway, but this section of the route has only two stations, Roma Termini and Torricola.[2] It is estimated that on average about 40,000 passengers travel on an FL8 train each day.
The designation FL8 appears only in publicity material (e.g. public transport maps), in the official timetables, and on signs at some stations. The electronic destination boards at stations on the FL8 route show only the designation "R" and the relevant train number.[2]
The FL8, a radial route, runs from Roma Termini, on the southern perimeter of Rome's city centre, in a south easterly direction, via the Rome–Formia–Naples railway, to Campoleone, and then south west, via the Albano–Nettuno railway, to Nettuno.[2]
On the main line between Roma Termini and Campoleone, the route is double track, and on the branch line between Campoleone and Nettuno, the route is single track.[2]
Historyedit
When the Lazio regional railways network was introduced in 1994, the route of the present day FL8 was part of the FL7, which was divided at Campoleone into two branches. One FL7 branch ran to Nettuno, and the other to Formia (renamed Formia-Gaeta in 2012).
Since the introduction of the FL7, the Roma–Nettuno services have been reclassified as FL8 services.
