Florence Track Intrusion Disrupts Rail Traffic With Delays Up to 60 Minutes

Police investigations at Campo di Marte are keeping traffic on reduced speeds after an evening incident on track 3.

Overview

  • A person was struck by a train after 19:00 at Firenze Campo di Marte on track 3 in what reports describe as a suicide attempt.
  • RFI suspended circulation at the Florence hub before resuming service with delays estimated at up to one hour on key north–south routes.
  • Trenitalia says high-speed and Intercity trains, some diverted onto conventional lines, are running slower, with regional services facing possible route limits and cancellations.
  • Railway police are carrying out judicial inquiries at the station, which are contributing to the prolonged slowdowns.
  • The disruption adds to earlier delays caused by a Frecciabianca breakdown near Viareggio that affected the Genova–Roma line.
