The route operates over the infrastructure of the Rome–Cassino–Naples railway. Within the territory of the comune of Rome, it plays the role of a commuter railway.[2] It is estimated that on average about 50,000 passengers travel on an FL6 train each day.

The designation FL6 appears only in publicity material (e.g. public transport maps), in the official timetables, and on signs at some stations. The electronic destination boards at stations on the FL6 route show only the designation "R" and the relevant train number.[2]
