History

The station was built by Società per le Strade Ferrate Calabro-Sicule as part of the extension of the Jonica railway from Lazzaro to Bianco, opened on October 1, 1868.[1] In 1999, the station was equipped with a new station building[2] and in April 2007 the station and the railway line south of it were electrified.[3]

Layout

The station has three tracks, one side platform and one island platform. Before 2007, the station had also another track and another side platform, later destroyed by a storm and not rebuilt.[4] The station building features the waiting room, a cafe, the ticket machine area and the toilet.

Services

The station is served by regional, suburban and InterCity trains operated by Trenitalia.[5]

gollark: There might be permissions to fix, too.
gollark: Er. Probably. Again, is the disk set to be mounted on boot?
gollark: I wasn't actually there, so did it do anything which wasn't solved by manually removing it?
gollark: In general, bugs which somehow mess up computer IDs are likely to cause damage *anyway*.
