Location in Italy

Bergamo railway station (Italian : Stazione di Bergamo) serves the city and comune of Bergamo, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. Opened in 1854, it is located at the junction of lines to Brescia, Lecco, Seregno and Treviglio.

Contents

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.

The train services are operated by Trenord and Trenitalia.

Location

Bergamo railway station is situated at Piazza Guglielmo Marconi, at the south eastern edge of the city centre.

History

According to the Central Statistical Office of the FS, the station was opened on 22 April 1854, upon the inauguration of the whole of the Bergamo–Brescia railway. [1] However, another source says that the Bergamo–Brescia railway was opened only in stages. According to that source, the Coccaglio-Brescia and Brescia-Verona sections both become operational on 22 April 1854 and were formally opened two days later, while the connection to Bergamo was not completed until 12 October 1857. [2]

Features

The passenger building is connected with the seven through tracks and two platform docks of the station yard by a small pedestrian underpass, which also connects the station with Via Gavazzeni, near a school campus.

The underpass was finally opened in autumn 2008, almost fifty years after it was first proposed.

Train services

The station had about 10.3 million passenger movements in the year 2010. [3]
