Train services for passengers at the Luni stop in La Spezia province are currently halted due to ongoing infrastructure upgrades. Although originally scheduled for earlier completion, the construction timeline has been pushed to April 25 following a spell of poor weather conditions. The station’s temporary shutdown affects those traveling through the region, particularly during the busy spring season, as no trains will make scheduled stops at Luni while the upgrades continue.

Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), part of the FS Group, is leading the project. Work is underway on both platforms, to lay the groundwork where passengers can safely board and disembark at Luni. To manage the disruption, RFI has activated specific audio announcements in nearby stations and on affected trains, providing updated information for travelers and helping to guide them toward alternative routes.

This initiative is part of many plans to increase rail accessibility across Italy. Specifically in Luni, the ongoing construction targets easier train access, with a focus on accommodating passengers with limited mobility. The enhancements involve modifying platform structures and adding updated elements that comply with current accessibility regulations. Although these upgrades are intended to increase the station's accessibility and safety, there won't be any services throughout the renovation phase.

For those headed out in the Ligurian or northern Tuscany area this means route-changes and possible use of local stations to access the rail network. Visitors planning to explore nearby historical or cultural landmarks might encounter disruptions or added travel expenses, as Luni is currently inaccessible by train. It is advisable to organize travel plans in advance to avoid unexpected complications.

The station's inaccessibility is a major consideration for passengers depending on local rail connections, even though it is only temporary. While the improvements promise better infrastructure in the long run, the current suspension highlights how construction and weather can affect travel logistics. Normal operations are forecasted to resume on April 26 subject to site progress and weather.
