Route map

The S1 is a commuter rail route forming part of the Milan suburban railway service (Italian: Servizio ferroviario suburbano di Milano), which converges on the city of Milan, Italy.[1]

The service operates over the Milan–Saronno, Milan Passante, and Milan–Bologna lines. Like all other Milan suburban railway service routes, it is operated by Trenord.

Route

S1, a cross-city route, heads in a southeasterly direction from Saronno to Milano Lancetti. From there, it runs via the Milan Passante railway through the municipality of Milan to Milano Rogoredo, and finally to Lodi.[2] The travel takes 1h29'.[3]

History

The S1 was activated on 12 December 2004, and operated initially between Saronno and Milano Porta Vittoria.[4]

With the change of timetable on 15 June 2008, the service was extended from Milano Porta Vittoria to Milano Rogoredo, where there is an interchange with regional trains and long-distance services to and from Genoa, Bologna and Mantua.[5]

To coincide with another timetable change on 13 December 2009, the service was further extended, from Rogoredo to Lodi, during the day in off-peak hours. From 13 June 2010, all other Monday to Friday services were extended to Lodi.[6]

At June 2023, all trains run from Saronno to Lodi up to 9.30 p.m; after that and until the end of service, trains are limited to Lodi-Milano Bovisa, where it is possible to cover the remaining part of the route thanks to an interchange with line S3.[1]
