Monza railway station () is the main station serving the city and comune of Monza, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy.
Opened in 1840 under the Habsburg monarchy, the station forms part of the MilanâÂÂChiasso railway, and is a junction station for two secondary lines, the LeccoâÂÂMilan railway and the MonzaâÂÂMoltenoâÂÂLecco railway. It is also the main railway junction of the Brianza geographical area, which encompasses the province of Monza and Brianza, Province of Lecco, Province of Como and part of the Province of Milan.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Both companies are subsidiaries of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Train services are operated by the Lombard railway company Trenord.
Monza railway station is located on Via Enrico Arosio, at the southern edge of the city centre.
The station was officially opened on 17 August 1840, as the terminus of the MilanâÂÂMonza railway, which was the first railway built in Lombardy and the second in Italy, after the NaplesâÂÂPortici railway. Operations commenced the following day, 18 August 1840. In July 1849, that line was extended to Camnago-Lentate, on its way to becoming the MilanâÂÂChiasso railway.
On 27 December 1873, Monza became a junction station, upon the opening of the final section of the LeccoâÂÂMilan railway, between Carnate-Usmate and Monza.
The original passenger building was replaced with the present one in 1884, when the station was moved to a new location. In 1901, the original passenger building was demolished to facilitate the construction of the Via Turati bridge.
On 19 October 1911, Monza also became the terminus of another secondary line, the MonzaâÂÂMoltenoâÂÂLecco railway.
The station yard consists of seven tracks: 1 and 2 for Chiasso, 3 previously shared between the ChiassoâÂÂMilan and LeccoâÂÂMilan railways, 4 and 5 for Tirano (RFI), and 6 (as the main platform) and 7 (as the overtaking platform) for the Lecco and Molteno lines.
The station also has a freight terminal that serves, amongst other things, the nearby storage area of the former Lombard Petroli, at Villasanta.
The station has about seven million passenger movements each year. It is served by the following services:
Regional express services (Treno RegioExpress), which cal only at more important stations and run once per hour per direction:
Suburban services (Treno suburbano), calling at every station, which call at every station and run twice per hour per direction (a part from S7 which, because of its single tracked nature, runs similar schedule to R18):
The station is connected with the Milan suburban railway network by Lines S7, S8, S9, and S11. It also has a bus terminal for local buses.
