The Torino Porta Susa railway station is a long distance and regional train station in the Italian city of Turin and in front Porta Nuova the main railway station of the city.

history
- First train station
The above-ground station was opened in 1848 due to Turin’s strong westward development. It was still in front of the Porta Nuova train station on the lines to Milan and has always been used by long-distance trains. In 2006, a station for the Turin metro was built under the train station , but it only went into operation in September 2011. The above-ground train station was closed in 2009.
- Second train station (Porta Susa AV)
The first two tracks of the tunnel station were already opened in 2008, after the above-ground part was closed, two more tracks of the station called Torino Porta Susa sotterranea went into operation. The reason for the renovation was to move the route underground within the city center. The last two tracks went into operation at the beginning of 2013 and Porta Susa replaced the Porta Nuova station as Turin main station, as no change of direction is necessary here (especially in traffic to / from Paris or Genoa). The new tunnel station is covered by a 300-meter-long steel and glass structure, the design of which comes from the French architects Arep. The 55 million euro project was fully supported by the FS infrastructure company Rete Ferroviaria Italiana .
