The station opened in 1884, when the FS line from Cagliari was completed. In 1888 it became the terminal of the FdS Sassari–Alghero line.[1] On 14 May 1943, during the Second World War, it was damaged during a bombardment.
Structure and transportedit
Located in the north-western side of the city and in front of downtown, the large station building has three floors. Since 2006 a stop for the new metro-tramway line has been located in front of it. Tracks in the station are mainly 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge and partly 950 mm (3 ft 1+3⁄8 in) narrow gauge. The latter are used by the three FdS lines. Three terminal tracks, also used by FdS trains, are located in north of the building. Beyond the three passing tracks served by platforms, there are four other tracks used for freight traffic.
As with other stations in Sardinia, Sassari station is not electrified.[2] It is served by regional trains to Porto Torres, Olbia, Oristano and Cagliari. The adjacent tram-train stop provides transit service.
