Milan Hub
The Milan Hub constitutes one of the key points along the national railway system, of which it represents a crossroads, both for many important lines coming from other national and regional centres, and for the High Speed system.
Building the lines necessary for High Speed will recover capacity on the existing railway network to upgrade regional and district passenger traffic and freight traffic. Furthermore, the new operational margins, together with the possibility of separating and channelling traffic by main lines and by supply levels, resulting from the work planned on this Hub, shall facilitate improving traffic fluidity and reduce conflicts between long haul passenger traffic, regional traffic and freight traffic.
Thanks to the above, the infrastructural and technological scheme of the Milan Hub, once modernised, will make it possible to achieve an operational model, the primary aim of which is to implement a transport system characterised by:
• high intermodal and plurimodal integration
• increase in system capacity
• high service standard.
To achieve the aims outlined above, the following infrastructural upgrade and technological work has been planned:
Milan-Mortara track doubling (includes Milan S.C.-Cascina Br. track doubling and regenerating S. Cristoforo-P.ta Romana, Cascina Br.-Parona-Mortara track doubling is not included in this plan)
Milan-Venice track quadruplication on the Lambrate-Treviglio stretch Technological/performance work on major hubs (Rome, Milan, Naples) phase:
the work, essentially technological in nature, consists in: completing the technological renovation of the hub; completing automation of the command and control facilities for the governing installations; installing safety features and signalling installations to keep the hub lines’ capacity and performance in line, in terms of the frequency and speed of the service, with the lines’ commercial specialisation
