Train movements
The Leonardo Express is a first class only non stop service linking Fiumicino Aeroporto with Roma Termini railway station in just over 30 minutes. It operates every 30 minutes from early morning until late evening.
Frequent regional trains link Fiumicino Aeroporto with destinations in Latium north of Rome, including Fara Sabina, Poggio Mirteto and Orte (terminus station for this line)). The station is also the terminus of the Ferrovie regionali del Lazio FR1 commuter service from Orte. These trains stop at all the stations along the way, including important Roman Stations as Roma Trastevere, Roma Ostiense and Roma Tiburtina. While from last two it is possible to commute to the Linea B subway line, in Roma Trastevere the Tram 8 (with one terminus at Largo di Torre Argentina) provides a fast connection with Trastevere and the heart of the city center.
During business hours on workdays a train every 15 minutes arrives to Fara Sabina: of these, a train every 30 minutes reaches Poggio Mirteto, and from this station a train every hour arrives to Orte.
The station is also served by direct Frecciargento services to destinations such as Florence, Bologna and Venice. However, it is not possible to run Frecciarossa to Fiumicino Airport because of the short platforms, though there are plans to construct a dedicated high-speed line to the airport.[1]
