The Milano Lambrate train station ( Italian : Stazione di Milano Lambrate ) is one of the most important train stations in the northern Italian city of Milan . It is operated by the Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), an organizational unit of the Ferrovie dello Stato . From 2001 to 2018, the Centostazioni company was responsible for marketing and leasing the retail space .
The station is located on the Milan Belt Railway , completed in 1931 and operated by RFI .
location
The station is located in the north-east of the city, between the districts of Lambrate and Città Studi .
The tracks are about 10 meters above street level.
Near the station is the Lambrate underground station , served by the M2 trains of the Metropolitana di Milano .
The station is also served by several bus, trolleybus and tram lines.
history
The first Lambrate station was opened in 1873 on the Milan – Venice line and served as the east gate of the Milan railway junction. It was located in the village of Ortica (now part of Milan) in the area of the then independent municipality of Lambrate .
With the construction of the new central station , a semicircular belt railway was also built. This belt railway, on which the new Lambrate station is located, went into operation for freight traffic in 1914.
Because of the First World War , the construction work was stopped, so that passenger traffic could not run on the Gürtelbahn until 1931. At the same time, the new Milano Lambrate station was opened and the old one was shut down.
On October 30, 1939, an express train from Venice collided with an electric multiple unit (probably from the FS ETR 200 series ). 20 people died.
In the 1960s, the system was expanded to twelve tracks, so Lambrate is the third largest in the city in this regard after Centrale and the above-ground part of the Porta Garibaldi station.
In the 1990s a new, spacious reception building was built according to plans by the architect Ignazio Gardella . Initially, it was planned to use Lambrate station as a long-distance train station, so that at the beginning some Eurostar-Italia train pairs ended and began here in order to fulfill the promise made by Trenitalia to offer the Milan-Rome connection in less than three hours. The so-called LOW COST Eurostars began in Lambrate and ended in Roma Tiburtina , with stops in Rogoredo, Bologna Centrale and Firenze Campo di Marte . However, the stop was canceled again in 2004 and the Rogoredo station became a long-distance stop instead, while Lambrate has developed into an important local transport hub instead.
