Train services on the line to Brig are operated by BLS AG and Swiss Federal Railways, and those on the line to Locarno by the Società Subalpina Imprese Ferroviarie [it] (SSIF). These two lines combine to form an international link, via Domodossola, between the German and Italian speaking parts of Switzerland.
Domodossola railway station is situated at Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, at the eastern edge of the city centre.
Historyedit
The station was opened on 9 September 1888, together with the rest of the Domodossola–Arona section of the Milan–Domodossola railway.[1] It was built as part of a railway construction project planned since the 1870s. The aim of the project was to break the isolation of the Ossola valley, by connecting it with Novara and Turin.
On 1 June 1906, Domodossola was extended to become an international facility, upon the opening of the Simplon Tunnel and the Brig–Domodossola railway that passes through it.[1] The architect was Luigi Boffi who died in 1904, the station was built to his design following his death.
The passenger building has a significant architectural façade, with a string course of Bavenogranite and three cornices.
Passenger movementsedit
The station has about 1.4 million passenger movements each year.[2]
Interchangeedit
From the bus terminal located near the station there are direct buses to the main municipalities in the Ossola valley, and inter-urban routes to Verbania, Omegna and Milan Malpensa Airport.
