These trains run from mid-March to mid-October.
Tickets for the Campania Express cost EUR 15 oneway. It's a hop on/off train, you can get off at intermediate stops and continue the journey with another Campania Express.
It takes about 30 minutes from Naples to Pompeii and around 25 minutes from Sorrento to Pompeii.
Tickets can be purchased online through the official EAV Campania website or at the Circumvesuviana ticket office 20 minutes before departure.
The Circumvesuviana train station at Napoli Centrale in Piazza Garibaldi is on the lower level, below the platforms for the high-speed trains.
The lower level Circumvesuviana platforms inside the Naples Centrale (Piazza Garibaldi) Station are not handicapped-accessible and you must take the stairs down a few flights of stairs on foot to reach the tracks. The Naples Porta Nolana station in Naples is accessible; request assistance at the EAV info desk. The Sorrento station is also accessible; the stations at Herculaneum and Pompeii are not.
The biggest difference between the regular Circumvesuviana trains and the Campania Express trains are that the latter are specifically designed for tourists and offer air conditioning, guaranteed seating, and luggage storage.
