The Milan S-Bahn ( Italian: Servizio ferroviario suburbano di Milano ) is a railway system for fast passenger transport in the agglomeration of Milan . The system was opened on December 12, 2004 and consists of ten lines. The S is not derived from fast , but from suburbano (German: suburb ). The Milan S-Bahn meets all common criteria for a S-Bahn: The network is well connected to the Milan Metro , has a trunk line ( Passante ferroviario ), which is used by five lines, and other inner-city diameter lines , has modern rolling stock and a high cycle density of 30 minutes, so that the overlapping of two lines usually creates a 15-minute cycle. The metro only serves areas within a radius of 20 km, the S-Bahn 60 km and the regional trains up to 120 km.
history
sign
The idea of an underground connecting line between the terminal stations Porta Garibaldi and Porta Vittoria dates back to the 1960s. The decision to build this main S-Bahn line (known as Passante Ferroviario ) was not made until 1983. Construction began in 1984 with the Repubblica underground station, which was built in conjunction with the M3 underground station.
In November 1997 , the first section between the Bovisa and Porta Venezia stations was put into operation with an advance service ( island operation every 15 minutes).
In 1999 the second access to the main line from Certosa station was opened. At this time, the suburban lines from Saronno , Mariano Comense and Varese were led into the tunnel.
In 2002 , the extension of the tunnel to the Dateo underground station was put into operation.
Introduction of the S-Bahn system
_-_2004-12-24.png)
On December 12, 2004 , the entire tunnel route up to the new 4-track underground station Porta Vittoria was finally put into operation (the old terminal station was closed in 1991). However, the south-eastern connection was still missing, so that four of the five lines of the S-Bahn network opened at that time ended at this station. The network of the Milan S-Bahn comprised the following lines when it started operating:
- S1 Saronno - Milano Porta Garibaldi - Milano Porta Vittoria
- S2 Mariano - Milano Porta Garibaldi - Milano Porta Vittoria
- S5 Varese - Milano Porta Garibaldi - Milano Porta Vittoria - Pioltello
- S6 Novara - Milano Porta Garibaldi - Milano Porta Vittoria
- S10 Milano Bovisa - Milano Porta Garibaldi - Milano Porta Vittoria
At the same time, two lines were integrated into the S-Bahn system that did not use the main route, but served the Cadorna train station close to the center :
- S3 Saronno - Milano Cadorna
- S4 Meda - Seveso - Milano Cadorna
Furthermore, the eastern and southern railway ring was integrated into the S-Bahn network with a line that initially had no transfer options to the other lines:
- S9 Seregno - Milano Lambrate - Milano San Cristoforo
Further developments
- 2006
On February 19, the S4 line from Seveso was on a line that has not been used since then to Camnago- Lentate station , where there is a possibility of changing to the regional trains on the Chiasso-Milan line .
On June 19, the new Milano Romolo stop was opened on the S9 line , with a connection to the M2 underground station of the same name .
- 2008
On June 15, the south-eastern above-ground connection to Porta Vittoria station was completed, so that lines S1, S2, S6 and S10 could be extended to Rogoredo station, which was given its own section of the station with end tracks for this purpose.
- 2009
On June 14th, the new Pregnana Milanese stop was opened on the S6 line. On the same day, the Serenella stop (on lines S1 and S3) was renamed Garbagnate Parco delle Groane.
On December 13th, the S-Bahn lines east of Milan were put into operation on their own tracks to Lodi and Treviglio. The S1 was extended to Lodi and the S6 was run together with the S5 in the direction of Treviglio instead of Milano Rogoredo. For the first time, there were real west-east diameter lines over the main route.
In addition, two more S-Bahn lines were opened that do not use the main route:
- S8 Lecco - Carnate - Milano Porta Garibaldi
- S11 Chiasso - Milano Porta Garibaldi
- 2010
From February 1 to December 11, individual journeys of the S10 via Milano Bovisa to Malpensa Airport were extended. Since December 12th, Malpensa Airport can be reached directly from Central Station with the Malpensa Express . For this reason, the S10 trips to the airport have been discontinued.
- 2011
On June 12, the S9 from Milano San Cristoforo to Albairate was extended, so that this line also became a cross-city line (but without serving the main line).
On December 11th, the Milano-Rogoredo - Pavia line was added to the main S-Bahn line, so that all the connections originally intended for the main line tunnel are now in operation. In 2004, when the S-Bahn system went into operation, this final state was planned for 2008. The new branch is served by line S13, which replaces the previous line S10.
- S13 Milano Bovisa - Milano Porta Garibaldi - Milano Porta Vittoria - Pavia
- 2012
On December 9, the S9 was extended from Seregno to the end point of the S1 and S3 to Saronno. Passenger traffic was resumed on a route that had only been used in freight traffic since August 1, 1958. In this context, the line was electrified again and the Saronno - Cesano Maderno section was expanded to double-track.
At the same time, the range of services on many routes was expanded and gaps in intervals of 30 minutes were closed. On the S1, a 30-minute cycle is now also offered in the evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays. Two pairs of trains were added on line S2 in the early afternoon, but the large clock gap in the morning remained. The S4 line took over the evening traffic on the Milano - Seveso route from the S2 and runs every half hour until 12:30 a.m. On line S6, a continuous 30-minute cycle is now offered from 5 a.m. On the S11 line, a pair of trains was added in the afternoon so that the 30-minute cycle starts an hour earlier. The S13 line is now also served every half hour in the morning and after 9 p.m.
- 2013
Two new stops were opened in June: The Pieve Emanuele stop on the S13 line between Milan and Pavia went into operation on June 9, and the Cesano Maderno Groane stop on the S9 line between Seregno and Saronno followed on June 22, but only is served by every second train and therefore every hour.
On December 15, line S2 was shortened to the Milano-Rogoredo - Seveso line due to construction work. The rest of the route to Mariano Comense will be operated by rail replacement services for a timetable year. On the S4 line, all journeys now use the uniform route to Camnago Lentate, the branch to Meda is no longer served. On the S9 line, all passengers now stop at the Cesano Maderno Groane stop.
- 2014
On December 14th, the previous regional line Milano Porta Garibaldi - Molteno - Lecco was formally integrated into the S-Bahn system as line S7. This route is not electrified and is still used by diesel railcars. On the occasion of the renaming, the offer on Sundays and public holidays was condensed to a 2-hour cycle.
- 2015
On April 26, due to the Expo 2015, the offer was expanded on some lines and a new line was set up. Line S2, which has not operated on the Seveso - Mariano Comense section since the end of 2013, resumed operations between Sevoso and Meda. The evening trips of the S4 were also resumed. On Saturdays and Sundays, the S6 line was reduced to a half-hourly service. Line S7 now also runs every hour on Sundays. The S 11 line was extended from Porta Garibaldi to Rho and condensed on the entire route to every half hour. In addition, the new line S14 was set up between Rho and Rogoredo with half-hourly intervals from 9 a.m. to midnight.
- S14 Rho - Milano Porta Garibaldi - Milano Porta Vittoria - Milano Rogoredo
On May 9th, the Milano Forlanini transfer station went into operation, which enables a link between the S9 ring line and the S5 and S6 lines on the main line.
With the end of the Expo on November 1st, the S14 line was stopped again, since then the S11 has only run on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. with every second train from Porta Garibaldi to Rho.
- 2016
On September 12th, two morning amplifier train pairs were introduced on the Melegnano - Milano Bovisa section of the S1. They received the new line designation S 12.
- S12 Milano Bovisa - Milano Porta Garibaldi - Milano Porta Vittoria - Melegnano
