The Milano Porta Venezia train station is an important hub in Milan's public transport network. It represents an important transfer point between the S-Bahn and the U-Bahn . The entire station system is underground.
history
At the end of the 1950s, construction began on the first section of the Milan subway , which was to go from the Marelli to the Lotto . This included the Porta Venezia train station, which was initially called Oberdan .
The underground line opened on November 1, 1964. Like every station on Line 1, Porta Venezia station had two tracks with side platforms . A mezzanine with monitored access control was created above the track level. The rooms were designed by the architects Franco Albini and Franca Helg , the signage by Bob Noorda .
According to the plans of the 1950s, another underground line was planned, the line 4, which should run in an east-west direction. The platforms and the mezzanine floor have been made oversized for the intended transfer option between the lines. In the 1970s, these plans were abandoned and line 4 was replaced by a S-Bahn connection (the so-called " Passante ").
After a long and difficult construction period, the S-Bahn station went into operation on December 21, 1997 and at that time served as the temporary end point of the line coming from Bovisa . On June 30, 2002 the “ Passante ” was extended to Dateo , so that the Porta Venezia train station became an easier stopping point.
Connection
Because of its central location, the station is well connected to the Milan tram lines. At the northern exit (towards viale Tunisia) you can change to lines 5 and 33, at the southern exit (towards piazzale Oberdan) to line 9.
