Campagna express train

Will the campagna express train be operating between Naples and Sorrento June 2017.
I went to the website for schedule but it said that the page could not be found.

I think the spelling is Campania; perhaps retry or the schedule may not be posted yet?

I'm guessing it probably will but as it's a seasonal train, schedules likely won't be posted until closer to March. I'd keep an eye on this website for 2017 announcements, and use the links it provides for accessing schedules:

From what I've read, awareness has about this train has been low so ridership has been light compared to the regular Circumvesuviana. This has not made the locals - crowded into those trains for daily commutes - very happy so there's been some pressure to make it more economical (lighter ridership/limited runs = expensive to operate) with more runs/stops and less expensive ticket prices for those commuters. I haven't heard that's going to change, though, and ridership will probably increase with awareness.

Riding on the Campania Express took a load off my mind in Naples. Didn't have to worry about pickpockets riding along with you on the crowded Circumvesuviana. They have hostesses that accompany you right to the platform. We even had one hostess chase off a pickpocket that tried to get into my wife's back pack
