There are two separate single track lines between Bussoleno and Salbertrand. One runs along the mountain-side and through a series of short tunnels. This is normally used by trains from Bardonecchia towards Torino. The other runs through longer tunnels, which curve deep into the mountains. This makes the line longer and, therefore, gives an easier gradient for trains climbing towards Bardonecchia. However, both tracks are reversibly signalled and trains may use the opposite line from normal.

The new high speed line between Torino and Milano came into use west of Novara on 10 February 2006 and is used by ''AV'' and ''Eurostar Italia'' trains running non-stop between Torino Porta Susa and Milano Centrale. At Novara trains use a flying junction between the high speed line and Novara Smistamento and the north to east curve onto the old main line. This route does not pass through Novara station is unlikely to be used by passenger trains after the high speed line is completed to Milano.
The regular passenger service over this branch line ceased in 2012, but tourist trains operated from 2016.  For further details see the [http://www.piemontevic.com/viaggi-treno-storico-valle-tanaro.html VIC srl website]. Most trains appear not to run the full length of the branch. Advance reservation is usually necessary.

Introduction

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

Bussoleno - Salbertrand
