Trains at the station in Sorrento, Italy
Author: lynnpowell

Photo taken on June 18, 2017 in Sorrento, Italy. Photo shows the station tracks with two trains. The railway is the "Circumvesuviana Ry.", a 950-mm (3-ft 1-5/8-in) commuter system with five routes radiating out of Naples. The various routes completely encircle Mount Vesuvius. The Naples to Sorrento route has the dubious nick-name of "the pick-pocket train", and tourists are warned against riding the frequent trains on this route.

I think the more appropriate warning would be take care. The Circumvesuviana is the quickest was to get to the ruins at Pompeii and at Herculaneum.

Agreed. Fastest way from Napoli to Sorrento as well. Just exercise caution.

When we boarded in Napoli, the train was SRO. We stood for about six stops or more, and then things began to empty out. I suppose the pick pockets could work such a situation.

It looks like they're keeping them cleaner now. My experience in 2010 was quite different.
