Closure of the Passante Ferroviario di Milano: travel information

Train service between Rogoredo and Certosa/Bovisa will be suspended from 28 July to 24 August.

 

Due to work carried out by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, train traffic on the Passante Ferroviario di Milano between Milano Rogoredo and Milano Certosa/Milano Bovisa is suspended from 28 July to 24 August. During the affected period, the stations of Milano Lancetti, Milano Porta Garibaldi Sotterranea, Milano Repubblica, Milano Porta Venezia, Milano Dateo, Milano Porta Vittoria and Segrate will not be served by trains.

 

The service on the lines intersecting with the Passante will be rearranged to guarantee all connections. Free travel is provided for customers who need to use the metro and urban lines to reach the area served by the Passante.

 

Changes to the S-line service

To facilitate travel, the service offered on lines S1, S5, S6, and S13 has been rearranged. Lines S2 and S12 are suspended; line S11 Rho–Milan–Como–Chiasso is not running between Rho and Milan Porta Garibaldi Superficie.
