Siena to Sorrento by train

What is the best way to go from Siena to Sorrento by train? Is it easier by bus?

Many thanks,
Mary Ellen

Train to Rome. Rome to Naples
Switch to Circumvesuviana train or get a direct shuttle bus from Naples airport, a better option as the local train can be very crowded, more like a subway car, lots of grafitti, no room for luggage.

A better option would be the Campania Express that departs from the same underground tracks used by the Circumvesuviana but has only reserved seats. Why take a bus from Napoli Centrale to Naples airport to transfer to a bus to Sorrento if there is a not crowded, direct train?

Another option would be bus from Siena to Roma Tiburtina station, a direct train to Salerno and then a bus to Sorrento.

I believe the (interminable ...) public bus from Salerno to Sorrento would require a change in Amalfi. Month of year makes a difference in this high tourism area.

Time of year? Campagna Express only runs during tourist season (and only about four times a day when it does run) -- but it sounds like a great idea if the times work for you.
