History

The station was opened in 1968, as a stop on Milan-Gorgonzola fast tramway line.[1] 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.[2]

Station structure

Elevated structure

The station has two covered platforms and two tracks. It is located on the about 144 meters long viaduct across the Martesana channel.[3] The viaduct was designed by engineer Silvano Zorzi.[4] The passenger building is located in a sort of mezzanine integrated into the structure, under the tracks at the western end of the platforms.[3]

gollark: To randomly interject very late, I don't agree with your reasoning here. As far as physicists can tell, while pretty complex and hard for humans to understand, relative to some other things the universe runs on simple rules - you can probably describe the way it works in maybe a book's worth of material assuming quite a lot of mathematical background. Which is less than you might need for, say, a particularly complex modern computer system. You know what else is quite complex? Gods. They are generally portrayed as acting fairly similarly to humans (humans like modelling other things as basically-humans and writing human-centric stories), and even apart from that are clearly meant to be intelligent agents of some kind. Both of those are complicated - the human genome is something like 6GB, a good deal of which probably codes for brain things. As for other intelligent things, despite having tons of data once trained, modern machine learning things are admittedly not very complex to *describe*, but nobody knows what an architecture for general intelligence would look like.

gollark: If your study produces no result you just won't publish it, which leads to some bias.
