点评:Tripadvisor was the most helpful in providing info about this rail journey! And most of the journey is tourists doing it for themselves - ie the blind leading the blind, and succeeding!
The timetable is on the Circumetnea.it website but difficult to read on a phone which is where I started and failed.
Put the address:
Via Caronda, 352A
Into your gps and hey presto there’s the station and your ride. The metro is close so that’s another way of reaching Catania Borgo station
I rode the 8.05 train. It’s a great ride with Etna ever present, when you’re not in a tunnel, sometimes for upto 10 minutes.
There is a 2 hour stopover at Randazzo - other towns before it looked more interesting and picturesque. A bit of a let down for sure, but the views of Etna all the way won me over anyway.
We arrived at Riposto just as the train from Giarre-Riposto heading to catania pulled out so of course missed that connection. The next train to catania leaves in 45 minutes - due to a delay ours left 90 minutes later! Despite the disappointment of Randazzo and poorly synchronised timetables as described, this is a great journey - and for next to nothing (€6).
翻译:Tripadvisor 在提供有关这次铁路旅行的信息方面最有帮助!大部分旅程都是游客自己做的——即盲人引导盲人,然后成功!
时间表位于 Circumetnea.it 网站上,但很难在手机上阅读,这就是我开始并失败的地方。
贴上地址:
通过卡隆达,352A
输入你的 GPS,嘿,很快就有车站和你的车程。地铁很近,因此这是到达卡塔尼亚博尔戈站的另一种方式
我乘坐的是8.05的火车。当您不在隧道中时,有埃特纳火山存在,这是一次很棒的旅程,有时长达 10 分钟。
在兰达佐 (Randazzo) 停留 2 小时 - 其他城镇在它看起来更有趣、更风景如画之前。确实有点失望,但埃特纳火山一路的景色还是赢得了我的心。
我们到达里波斯托时,正值从贾雷-里波斯托开往卡塔尼亚的火车停驶,所以当然错过了那次转乘。下一班开往卡塔尼亚的火车将在 45 分钟后出发 - 由于晚点,我们的火车在 90 分钟后出发!尽管兰达佐令人失望,并且时间表同步不佳,但这仍然是一次很棒的旅程 - 而且几乎没有任何费用(6 欧元)。
