Arenaways is an open-access railway operator in Italy. It began 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]

On the 27th 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]

Arenaways used Bombardier TRAXX locomotives, and passenger coaches built by Astra Vagoane Călători [ro].[5] The company offered a number of novel on-board services.[6]
