Arenaways is a railway operator in Italy. It began open-access passenger operations between Milan and Turin in November 2010, competing with national monopoly operator Trenitalia. [2] Arenaways was running the first private passenger-carrying rail services since nationalisation, and intended to complain to the competition authority about the dominance of Trenitalia. [3]

In March 2024 Arenaways was awarded a PSO contract for the operation of two railway lines in Piedmont for 10 years, commencing in January 2025. [4] The operator selected Estonian rail ticketing solutions firm, Turnit, to power their eCommerce and ticketing solutions. [5]

Arenaways used Bombardier Traxx locomotives, and passenger coaches built by Astra Vagoane Călători  [ ro ]. [6] The company offered a number of novel on-board services. [7]

In November 2024, Renfe bought a 33% shareholding in Arenaways. [8] [9]
