Revision as of 23:45, 27 December 2015
This list is based on the timetable in force from 10 December 2023. Although the timetable is shown as valid until 8 June 2024, most long-distance services are shown as operating only until March. Such trains are not indicated by note 'D' (for a service only running on certain dates), because it is a reasonable expectation that their period of operation will be extended or a similar service is provided instead. It is assumed that the timetable will continue to be updated and reissued regularly, as has been the case since summer 2020. Users are recommended to check the Trenitalia website to ensure they are using the latest version of the timetable.
Table numbers quoted here are from In Treno Tutt'Italia, the official Trenitalia timetable. Standard abbreviations are explained here.
Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 2) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "S+W", or in italic, refer to Atlante ferroviaro d'Italia e Slovenia by Schweers + Wall.
Two useful symbols exist which show the booked route for trains not calling at a station: in the middle of the train column, a vertical bar "|" means that the train passes through the station without stopping, whereas a middle dot "·" means that the train does not pass through that station but instead takes a different route.
Obscure services

Rho – Milano-Certosa
[11, 40, 160, 165, M10] (41A3, 132A1) IT16/05
The lines from Domodossola (“Linea Gallarate”) and from Torino (“Linea Novara”) run parallel through Rho. The Linea Gallarate dive under the Linea Novara between Rho and Rho-Fiera Milano. Various crossovers allow exceptions, but in general trains between Gallarate and Milano Porta Garibaldi (main line station or Passante) follow the Linea Gallarate through the diveunder, while those between Gallarate and Milano Centrale use crossovers to the Linea Novara west of Rho.
Milano Centrale – Milano Lambrate (Quadrivio Turro, Linea Venezia)
[12, 185, M10] (41B3 not shown, 133A2 not shown) IT16/06
This newly-constructed line provides an alternative route from Milano Centrale towards Milano Lambrate. It passes to the west of the carriage sidings (shown as 'OMV' in the Eisenbahnatlas) where the lines to Greco Pirelli and Lambrate diverge. This connection crosses over the top of the 'balloon loop' running north of the carriage sidings. It may be used by trains between the west side (low numbered) platforms at Milano Centrale and Milano Lambrate.
Milano Centrale – Milano Porta Garibaldi (Bivio Mirabello)
[M14] (41B3 not shown, 133A2 not shown) IT16/07
This line, nicknamed the 'umbrella handle' and opened in 2010, provides a route from Milano Centrale towards Milano Porta Garibaldi. It runs on the west side of the line to Greco Pirelli and connects with the direct line between Milano Porta Garibaldi and Milano Lambrate. Together with IT16/08 it is used by trains between Milano Centrale and Malpensa Aeroporto via Milano Porta Garibaldi.
Milano Porta Garibaldi (Bivio Ghisolfa) - Milano Nord Bovisa
[M14] (41A3, 132D2 not shown) IT16/08
This connection, probably opened in 2010, links the FS line west of Porta Garibaldi with FNM lines south of Nord Bovisa. Together with IT16/07 it is used by trains between Milano Centrale and Malpensa Aeroporto via Milano Porta Garibaldi.
Milano Porta Garibaldi (Bivio Ghisolfa) – Bivio Musocco – Triplo Bivio Seveso – Milano Lambrate (Bivio Turro)
[26, M8] (41B3, 132C1) IT16/09
Most trains between Milano Porta Garibaldi and Milano Lambrate run direct via Bivio Mirabello. This route around the north side of Milano parallels the Milano Centrale - Rho main line between Bivio Musocco and Triplo Bivio Seveso and is common with the next entry between Milano Porta Garibaldi and Triplo Bivio Seveso. It enables trains via Milano Lambrate to arrive and depart at the west end of Porta Garibaldi. Trains using the west-facing terminal platforms, 1 to 12, are obliged to run via Bivio Musocco as are those calling at Villapizzone.

Milano Porta Garibaldi (Bivio Ghisolfa) – Bivio Musocco – Triplo Bivio Seveso – Milano Greco Pirelli
[M8, M11] (41B3, 132C1-133A2) IT16/10
Almost all trains between Milano Porta Garibaldi and Milano Greco Pirelli run direct via Bivio Mirabello. This route around the north side of Milano parallels the Milano Centrale - Rho main line between Bivio Musocco and Triplo Bivio Seveso and is common with the previous entry between Milano Porta Garibaldi and Triplo Bivio Seveso. It enables trains via Milano Greco Pirelli to arrive and depart at the west end of Porta Garibaldi. Trains using the west-facing terminal platforms, 1 to 12, are obliged to run via Bivio Musocco as are those calling at Villapizzone.
| D | S10898 | 07:01 Milano Porta Garibaldi - Carnate Usmate |
Milano Lambrate – Pioltello-Limito
[12, 185, M10] (41B3, 133B3) IT16/11
There are two routes between Milano Lambrate and the main line towards Brescia. Most trains use a direct connection off the main line between Milano Lambrate and Milano Rogoredo at Bivio Lambrate. Others, particularly some to and from Milano Porta Garibaldi or Milano Greco Pirelli, use the alternative route, which passes to the east of the sidings south of Lambrate, then dives under the normal route and runs alongside Smistamento Yard before rejoining the Direttissima lines east of Segrate. Use of this route may depend on line occupation and punctuality, as crossovers south of Lambrate provide an alternative.
Milano Lambrate – Posto di Movimento Trecca – Milano Rogoredo
[26, 45, M8] (41B3 not shown correctly, 133B3) IT15/12
There are two routes between Milano Lambrate and Milano Rogoredo. Most trains use the main line, but there is an alternative, the Linea Cintura, via a dive-under from the east side of the layout at Lambrate. Most trains take between 5 and 8 minutes between Milano Lambrate and Milano Rogoredo but some take between 11 and 15 minutes and hence are likely to use this route. Trains between Porta Garibaldi or Greco Pirelli and Rogoredo are particularly likely to use this route, but crossovers south of Lambrate provide an alternative. The dive-under provides the only route between Lambrate and Porta Romana, so is used by all trains between Milano Greco Pirelli and Milano S Cristoforo. These diverge from the route to Rogoredo at Posto di Movimento Trecca.
Milano Rogoredo – Pioltello-Limito (via Posto di Movimento Trecca and Milano Smistamento)
[185] (41B3, 133B3-133D3) IT15/13
This route is used by trains between the Brescia and Bologna or Genova lines if not booked to call at Milano Centrale, Lambrate or Porta Garibaldi. From Posto di Movimento Trecca it passes under the main line to Milano Lambrate and runs along the north side of Milano Smistamento. The frequent trains between Pioltello-Limito and Milano Porta Vittoria use a different route, via Segrate and Bivio Lambro.

| E | SSuO | RV1791 | Ventimiglia - 22:41 Milano Rogoredo – Bergamo |
Pioltello Limito – Treviglio
[12, 185, M10] (41B1 not shown, 21C3-21D3) IT16/14
Two lines exist between Pioltello Limito and Treviglio - the Linea Lenta and the Direttissima, which follows a different route east of Melzo, bypassing Trecella and Cassano d’Adda, and is used by most trains not stopping between Treviglio and Pioltello-Limito or Milano Lambrate. A few trains are booked to run non-stop via the Linea Lenta and are:
- From Milano Lambrate: 06:00, 06:33, 09:33 SuO, 11:33, 12:33, 16:33 and 21:33
- From Treviglio: 08:02 SSuO, 09:32, 11:02, 13:32, 14:02, 17:02, 21:02 and 22:02
- From Treviglio West: 07:52 SSuX
Trains to or from Bergamo which run via the Direttissima use a connecting line from the Linea Lenta at Bivio d'Adda, west of Treviglio.
Milano Rogoredo (Doppio Bivio S Donato) – Tavazzano
[45] (46B3 not shown, 21B3-21C4) IT16/15
The first section of the Milano - Bologna high speed line, the Linea AV, between Milano Rogoredo and Tavazzano is electrified at 3,000 Volts and can be used by any electric train. For most of the way it runs to the southwest of the old main line, the Linea Tradizionale. Many trains non-stop between Milano and Lodi run via the Linea AV, but a significant number use the the Linea Tradizionale. These can be can be identified in the timetable by the presence of a vertical bar '|' in the timing column against all the intermediate stations. Trains to Lodi via the Linea AV use the connecting line from Bivio/PC Melegnano (where the high speed line continues southwards) to Tavazzano.
Palazzolo sull'Oglio - Paratico Sarnico
(42A1, 134A2-134B1) IT16/16
There are excursions over this branch line, mainly during the summer. For details see the Ferrovie Turistiche Italiane website.
