Guaranteed services
- Regional trains: on weekdays Trenitalia runs trains from 6am to 9am and from 6pm to 9pm.
- Frecce, Intercity and Italo: operators publish a list of guaranteed trains a few days ahead.
- ANM on 16 November: the 4-hour strike falls outside peak hours, so early-morning and evening services are not affected.
- Flights: under national rules, flights between 7am and 10am and between 6pm and 9pm are guaranteed.
How to plan
- For Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento, avoid Saturday 21 November: the Circumvesuviana may not run all day.
- On 16 November, walk or take a taxi between 11am and 3pm: the historic centre is easy on foot.
- Check again the night before: strikes can be called off or moved at the last minute.
Tip: if you have a train or flight on 20-21 November, check in the operator's app whether it is guaranteed and keep a plan B.
