Cascina Gobba is a station on Line 2 of the Milan Metro. The station is located on Via Padova at the west side of the A51 Milan bypass road.

The line branches here to terminate at either Cologno Nord or Gessate.

Contents

The station takes its name from Cascina Gobba, a nearby rural village.

MeLA, a fully automated people mover opened in 1999, connects the station to the San Raffaele Hospital.

History

The station was inaugurated in 1968 with the opening of the Linee celeri dell'Adda , served by interurban fast tram to Vaprio and Cassano d'Adda. The following year the station started to be part of the newly built Line 2 of the Milan Metro, between Cascina Gobba and Caiazzo, as an east terminus of the line. On 4 December 1972, tram service was replaced by rapid transit, and thus the line was extended to Gorgonzola. [2]

The station became a junction on 7 June 1981 with the opening of the Cologno Monzese branch to Cologno Nord. [2] Since 1999, the station is also the terminus of the MeLA people mover to San Raffaele Hospital.
