Narrow gauge train services to the nearby station of "Potenza Inferiore" are operated by Ferrovie Appulo Lucane, a separate company.

Until 10 December 2006, it was named Statione di Potenza Inferiore, as it is in the lower elevations of the city, adjacent to the Basento river.

In the other direction, towards Battipaglia, there are several small buildings used for various technical purposes, and above them the concrete Musmeci viaduct, which provides road access to the city.

[2] Some of the trains that stop at the station provide long distance links with major cities such as Rome and Naples, and also with the region of Apulia.

The more common regional trains link Potenza with closer destinations, including Salerno, Naples, Melfi, Foggia and Taranto.
