Regional Train to Tiburtina Bus Station

Hello, I was wondering how loud the speakers are when announcing stops on the regional train from FCO's train station to get to the Tiburtina stop? Just wondering how closely I will have to pay attention to the number of stops.

Often times there ARE NO speakers on the trains, and the display boards are often wrong or not working. Two weeks ago I was on a FR1 train from FCO and it was from the Florence area all the interrior signage had NOTHING to do with Rome... So, the best way is to look up the route on the Trenitalia website, and always know the stop - or two stops - before yours. When you see that stop before, get ready to get off. Here's the route: Fiumicino Aeroporto station, Parco Leonardo, Fiera Di Roma, Ponte Galeria, Muratella, Magliana, Villa Bonelli, Roma Trastevere, Roma Ostiense, Roma Tuscolana, and then Roma Tiburtina. So, you'd be looking for the Roma Tuscolana station and get off at the next stop.

Ron is The Man. And he is absolutely right. I'm trying to remember the last time I heard any announcement on a Regionale train. The electronic sign at the end of some carriages may or may not be accurate or working.

Would a bus from FCO to Tiburtina station be a better way to go?

I would not worry too much. It is only a couple of stops and the signage is good. When you get your ticket, ask the seller for the number of stops.
