History
The station was opened in 1968, as a stop on Milan-Gorgonzola fast tramway line.[1] It was one of four stations not included in the original project (together with Villa Fiorita, Bussero and Villa Pompea).[2] Since 4 December 1972 the section from Cascina Gobba to Gorgonzola, where this station is located, was connected to Milan Metro Line 2 and operates as part of it ever since.[3]
Station structure
The station has two concrete platforms, covered with translucent panels, and two tracks.[4] Passenger building is located at the southern end of the platforms.[5] The station is built entirely of prefabricated elements and its structure is similar to that of the stations of Villa Fiorita, Bussero and Villa Pompea, constructed at the same time.
