Electrical Fault Halts Rome‑Cassino Railway Service
An electrical fault on the Rome‑Cassino line near Zagarolo forced the suspension of train traffic between Colleferro and Ciampino in the early hours of the morning. Service was halted at 00:55, leaving thousands of commuters stranded. RFI deployed technical teams and began rerouting the timetable, while a bus substitution service started at 09:30 to provide limited mobility.
After approximately eleven hours of work on the power line, train operations resumed at 11:55, with normal service gradually restored. The incident highlights recurring reliability issues on the Roma‑Cassino corridor and underscores the need for commuters to check real‑time travel information before departure.
