Circumetna Railway – do it anti-clockwise, starting in Riposto
Circumetnea Railway的点评
点评：The main problem is that the section from Catania to Paterno is closed. This is because the metro line from Catana is being extended; I’m not sure where to, possibly Paterno. It’s a huge civil engineering project, with massive roadworks, hence the cut. I hope that this is temporary, because the station at Catana is still staffed, and there is rolling stock there.
We did the trip in reverse, which is much easier. We were based in Catana , so took the main line from Catania to Piposto, and picked up the Circumetna from there. Be aware that the Circumatra station is a short walk from the mainline station. If you want to do the circuit, you will need to catch the 8.56, or 13.41 (see photo of the timetable from the Riposto booking area). The booking hall is not manned all the time… but should be when a train is due!!
We took the 13.41. At Randazzo you switch to another train… it was waiting for us. Whereas the Riposto to Randazzo section was modern rolling stock, The Randazzo to Paterno train was old 1950’s stock, with windows that open and allow you to really enjoy the spectacular views. We were lucky, it was a clear day… see the photos!
At Paterno, the bus that connects to the Metro system at Nesima was, again, waiting for us. You’ll get a good idea of the size of the engineering project on your way.
It was a stunning trip, which cost 15.8 euros for the two of us. Such a pity it’s so underused. Apart from us, there were just four French ladies. It’s a gem of a trip which just isn’t promoted by the Sicilian Tourist Office. Such a shame.
I just regret that we didn’t take the 8.56 train as that would have allowed us time to have some lunch and explore Randozzo.
Good luck!

翻译：主要问题是从卡塔尼亚到帕特诺的路段关闭了。这是因为从卡塔尼亚出发的地铁线路正在延伸；我不确定延伸到哪里，可能是帕特诺。这是一个庞大的土木工程项目，需要进行大量的道路施工，所以才被切断。我希望这只是暂时的，因为卡塔尼亚的车站仍然有人值守，而且那里也有机车车辆。
我们反过来走了一遍，这样方便得多。我们住在卡塔尼亚，所以从卡塔尼亚乘坐主线到皮波斯托，然后从那里换乘环线列车。请注意，环线车站离主线车站只有几步之遥。如果您想乘坐环线列车，您需要乘坐8点56分或13点41分的列车（参见里波斯托售票处的时刻表照片）。售票大厅并非一直都有人值守……但火车到站时应该会有人值守！！
我们乘坐的是13点41分的列车。在兰达佐换乘另一趟列车……它已经在等我们了。里波斯托到兰达佐的路段是现代机车，而兰达佐到帕特诺的火车则是上世纪50年代的老式火车，车窗可以打开，可以欣赏到壮丽的景色。我们很幸运，那天天气晴朗……看看照片就知道了！
在帕特诺，连接内西马地铁站的巴士又一次在等我们。一路上，你就能更好地了解这项工程的规模了。
这趟旅程太棒了，我们两个人花了15.8欧元。可惜的是，它很少被利用。除了我们之外，只有四位法国女士。这趟旅程真是太棒了，可惜西西里旅游局没有大力推广。真是太可惜了。
我真的很遗憾没有坐8点56分的火车，因为那样我们就可以有时间吃午饭，然后去探索兰达佐了。
祝你好运！
