Default Re: Italy: Traveling from Rome to Sorrento

Alas I cannot remember the names of the stations. A couple of years ago
when I took the Eurostar to Naples it ended at what is essentially the
same station that the Circumvesuvia departed from. They had different
names probably because of the ownership differences but it was primarily
a difference in platform level. The Circumvesuvia is on a level below
the Eurostar. Just take your time and stroll to the ticket counter and
then the train. If you miss one there will be another soon. If you are
in a hurry just send the wives on ahead to get the tickets while you
schlep the luggage. Watch out for the overpriced baggage helpers. FFM
