History

The original station, built in wood in the style of a chalet, was opened in 1879. This was enlarged in 1920, but the station was destroyed during the bombing raids of the city in the Second World War. The current structure and the homonymous square were completely restored in 1999 under a Gae Aulenti project. The station is named after the General of the Italian Army Luigi Cadorna.[1]

Transport

Passenger services from this station, by commuter, suburban, regional and express trains, are operated by Trenord.[2]

Local public transportation

Piazzale Cadorna (Cadorna square, in front of the station) is a hub of Milan's public transport: it features Cadorna junction underground station (underground lines M1 and M2) and stops or headlines for one tramway line (1) and eleven bus lines (NM1, NM2, N25, N26, N50, N57, N94, 50, 58, 61 and 94).

gollark: ... do you want a cheese for it?
gollark: You're lucky. I never manage to get those things.
gollark: I generally say "tell me if you take it". Anyone who does not will pay for their evil crimes.
gollark: Yay, a cheese!
gollark: It's totally my business to impose constraints on stuff I'm giving away. Yes, strictly speaking, they *can* just trade it away, but if I notice that they are absolutely not getting gifts again. Never happens to me, though, since I mostly gift 2G whatevers and the occasional uncommon CB.
