Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) reported that a signalling fault near Ceccano disrupted north-bound trains on the Rome–Naples high-speed line between 07:30 and 09:50 local time today. Frecciarossa and Italo services experienced delays averaging 40 minutes, with knock-on effects on Milan-bound connections. The outage comes at an awkward moment for business travellers seeking alternatives to tomorrow’s aviation strike. Trenitalia has added extra Frecciarossa trains for 30 September, but capacity remains tight; today’s disruption highlights the fragility of contingency options on Italy’s busiest corporate corridor. RFI engineers resolved the issue by mid-morning, yet travellers booked on connections through Florence or Bologna were still arriving up to one hour late. Mobility managers should monitor RFI’s Infomobilità alerts and build buffer time into itineraries, especially for airport transfers to Rome FCO. Companies with strict service-level agreements on time-critical deliveries (e.g., pharmaceutical samples, just-in-time automotive parts) may wish to switch to road freight during the next 48 hours.
