The new Napoli Afragola railway station is designed as a central node for high-speed train lines serving southern Italy. Once all the lines have become operational, about 32,700 passengers a day – or some 12 million a year – will be using the station, with 28 high-speed trains halting daily at Napoli Afragola when it is complete. For about a month now the first high-speed trains currently serving about 10,000 passengers a day have been stopping at the station.
