Train service withdrawals in 2017:
* - Portomaggiore - Dogato (FER) (11 June): Amazingly, this newly-constructed line had opened only eight months earlier, but is to be converted into a cycle path.

There is still no service in 2022, but the line is shown, without timings, in Table 26 so it appears that it will be reinstated at some point.

The section between Perugia Ponte S Giovanni and Città di Castello was reopened on 25 October 2018. The section between Perugia Ponte S Giovanni and Perugia S Anna reopened on 13 September 2022.
