Operational details

Stop to S4 trains in Seveso and Camnago from 3 to 23 August

The interruption of railway traffic is part of the program of interventions on the Seveso junction, also aimed at the construction of the double track between Seveso and Camnago. This work will be intended to improve the capacity of the line and the regularity of the railway service.

To receive real-time updates on the service, Trenord recommends using its app. In this way, passengers will always be able to be informed about the current status of rail traffic and plan their journey more effectively.

The double-track project was financed with an amount of 10 million Swiss francs, of which 5 million were allocated to the construction of the works and the other 5 million for the planning and management of the project. The project was financed thanks to the contribution of the Swiss Confederation and the neighboring cantons.

The project for the construction of the double track involves the construction of two separate tracks between Seveso and Camnago, which will increase the capacity of the line and improve the regularity of the railway service. In addition, the project involves the construction of new safety infrastructure, such as the construction of new traffic signals and new signalling systems.

The double-track construction project was planned and managed by Trenord in collaboration with the Canton of Ticino and the Swiss Confederation. The project was financed and implemented in accordance with the Swiss legislation on railway infrastructure (RS 747.1) and the European legislation on railway safety (EC Regulation 402/2013).
