The S6 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 route runs over the infrastructure of the Turin–Milan, Milan Passante and Milan–Venice railways. Like all but one of the other Milan suburban railway service routes, it is operated by Trenord.

Route

Line S6, a cross-city route, heads initially in an easterly direction from Novara to Rho Fiera Milano. From there, it runs through the municipality of Milan, via the Milan Passante railway, to Milano Porta Vittoria, and finally in an easterly direction to Treviglio.[2]

History

The S6 was activated on 12 December 2004, and operated initially between Novara and Milano Porta Vittoria.[3]

With the change of timetable on 15 June 2008, the line was extended from Milano Porta Vittoria to Milano Rogoredo, where there is interchange with regional trains and long-distance services to and from Genoa, Bologna and Mantua.[4]

Coinciding with another timetable change on 13 December 2009, the Porta Vittoria to Rogoredo section was closed, but the southern end of the route was extended in that section's place, from Porta Vittoria to Pioltello-Limito (and during rush hour to Treviglio).[5]
