Bari–Bitritto railway line
The Bari–Bitritto railway line is a standard gauge railway line in Italy. It runs 11.2 kilometres (7.0 mi) from Bari Centrale to Bitritto. It was built by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) and opened in 2024. Trenitalia operates services over the line. HistoryThe line had a long gestation period, with initial planning beginning in 1986 and construction in 1998.[2] In the early 2000s the project was associated with Ferrovie Appulo Lucane, operator of several 950 mm (3 ft 1+3⁄8 in) lines in the Apulia and Basilicata regions.[3] Eventually recast as a standard gauge line under Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, it opened for regular service on 8 January 2024.[4] OperationPassenger services on the line are operated by Trenitalia. As of the June 2025 timetable change,[update] these consisted of roughly one train per hour in each direction between Bari Centrale and Bitritto.[5] References
