Is there a high-speed train from Rome to Positano?

There is no direct train from Rome to Positano. You need to travel from Rome to Naples, then transfer to another train from Naples to Sorrento. There are high-speed trains available for both legs. Tickets can cost upwards of 50 euros if you travel with the Frecciarossa train line, but these trains are more comfortable and have added perks like free Wi-Fi onboard entertainment, a bar, and a restaurant. Once you arrive in Sorrento, you'll need to take a bus or taxi to Positano.

Is a day trip from Rome to Positano worth it?
