It's most strange. If I access the EAV site directly, I'm still sent to the 2016 timetable.
Even stranger, if I follow your link and then use the "Assistenza" button at the top of the 2017 timetable page, the links to the Campania Express return me to the 2016 timetable! I cannot reach that page independent of your link... (The complaint about this service being underutilized will certainly not be addressed by hiding the timetable)
Good on you for finding this and thanks again for capping this thread by posting the link.
My understanding is that they are not just focusing on Naples to Sorrento. That's a no-brainer called the, "Pickpocket Express," because it just serves tourism. Pompeii decided to open up new places this year for music, theatre, concerts, etc.
There is no way to get to Pompeii and back to Naples to watch a concert. This train is being re-decided based on whatever it can do to make Pompeii and related neighborhoods make it as a concert place for bands like the Rolling Stones, etc. I don't think it's all figured out yet, which wouldn't be surprising.
