Perugia to Naples and Perugia to Spoleto via Spello - advice pls
 
Hi, I have 2 questions that I need some help:

a) I wish to go from Perugia to Sorrento. I found a direct bus from Perugia to Naples via CLP bus (www.clpbus.it). Takes 4.5 hours to reach Naples. Has anyone taken that before and is it reliable? From Naples, I will take the train to Sorrento. I understand that the train station and the bus station in Naples are close to each other. Please correct me if I am wrong.

b) If I take the train from Perugia to Spoleto, is it possible to stop at Spello (for a quick visit) with the same ticket that i have bought for Perugia to Spoleto? Or 2 tickets must be purchased?

Thanks!

b) If you take an R train, I believe you have 6 hours from validation (time stamping at the start of your journey) of the ticket to complete your journey.

There is no train station at Spello. The nearest would be Foligno, ten or so miiles away.

"There is no train station at Spello."

Funny . . . when I checked for the stops on an R train between Perugia and Spoleto it listed:
Perugia
Perugia Ponte S. Giovanni
Bastia
Assisi
SPELLO
Trevi
Spoleto

Yes, there is a train station in Spello. It is a short walk into town and a great visit.

The train station in Spello is 1 kilometer from the city gate (12 minutes on foot), very slight incline.

The ticket (Perugia to Spoleto) for the regionale train has a 6-hr. validity, which means that you can get off at Spello and re-board the train within the 6-hr. validity of the ticket.

The CLP bus stop in Naples is at Via Ferraris 40, which is 400 meters from the entrance to the Napoli Centrale train station. It's an exceedingly ugly walk, but not unsafe during daylight hours. You can map the distance on Google maps.
