The station lies on the Milan–Venice railway, Treviglio–Bergamo railway and Treviglio–Cremona railway and is terminus of two suburban railways passing through Milan toward Novara (S6) and Varese (S5).

By those lines are also reachable Brescia, Lodi and Verona.

The station is managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) and the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. The train services are operated mainly by Trenord.

Location

Treviglio railway station is situated at Piazzale Giuseppe Verdi, at the southern edge of the town centre.

The station offers a surveilled parking for bikes, a ticket office, a newsstand, a bar and a near small car parking.

On the Piazzale Giuseppe Verdi there are bus and taxi parkings, on the opposite side lie a bar and the Treviglio Hotel.

History

The station was opened on 5 March 1878, upon the inauguration of the direct Treviglio–Rovato section of the Milan–Venice railway,[2] being the second in the newborn Kingdom of Italy.

In 1885, the station became part of the Rete Adriatica, under the management of the Società per le Strade Ferrate Meridionali (English: Company for the Southern Railways, SFM). After the nationalisation of Italy's railways in 1905, it was operated by the FS.

In 2014 the station has been modernized, with the reconstruction of the square before the facade to facilitate traffic and the introduction of elevators for disabled and cameras for security.

Since 2016 a police unit has been placed in the station, considering the increasing of aggressions and theft on public transports on national scale.
