Milano Lambrate railway station (Italian : Stazione di Milano Lambrate) is one of the main stations serving the city and comune of Milan, Italy. It is located in the north-eastern part of the city, and takes its name from the neighborhood of the same name. [1]
Opened in 1931, the station is the third largest in Milan in terms of number of tracks, after Milano Centrale and Milano Porta Garibaldi. It is part of the Milan belt railway as well as of the railways linking Milan with Genoa, Venice, Bologna and Mantua.
The station is managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), while the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. The train services are operated by Trenitalia and Trenord.
Underneath the station, on its southwestern side and connected with it, is a Milan Metro station of the same name on Line 2.
Milano Lambrate railway station is situated at Piazza Enrico Bottini, in the northeastern Milanese district of Lambrate, which, until 1924, was a separate comune from Milan. It is within walking distance of the university/politecnico campus, in the neighbourhood named Città Studi .
The station inherited its name from an earlier station, located in the district of Ortica. The earlier station was opened in 1896, on the original route of the Milan-Venice railway (the so-called Strada ferrata ferdinandea, named in honour of Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria).
The passenger building of the original station still stands on Via G. A. Amedeo, near the church of Saints Faustinus and Jovita and the present-day Buccari flyover.
In 1931, during the reorganization of the entire Milanese railway system, the original station was replaced by the present one, located on the Milan belt railway.
In the early 1990s, a new passenger terminal was constructed. It was designed by architect Ignazio Gardella and is located at Piazza Monte Titano. The 1931 building, renovated in 2005, now houses some commercial activities.
