The Bari–Barletta railway is a regional railway line in Apulia, Italy, managed by the private company Ferrotramviaria.

History

The line was opened in 1965, replacing an old, narrow gauge, tramway line, operated with steam locomotives.[1]

Since the 1990s the line has been refurbished, converting a portion to double track, as follows: in November 2004 from Bitonto to Ruvo, in April 2005 from Palese to Bitonto, and in January 2006 from Fesca to Palese.[2]

Since 22 December 2008 the section of the line within the city of Bari has been shared with the metropolitan railway service.[3] Since then, the line operation, known before as Ferrovia Bari Nord ("Bari northern railway"), has been called Ferrovie del Nord Barese ("Bari region northern railways").

At around 11:30am local time, on 12 July 2016, a head-on collision between two passenger trains occurred on the single track section of the line near Andria, north of Bari. At least 23 people were killed and dozens more injured.[4]
