Location

edit

Verbania-Pallanza railway station is situated in the Fondotoce district of Verbania. It is sandwiched between Lake Mergozzo and the river Toce, just upstream from where the Toce flows into Lake Maggiore.

History

edit

The station was opened on 16 January 1905, together with the rest of the AronaDomodossola section of the Milan–Domodossola railway.[1]

The composite name Verbania-Pallanza denotes the station's location within the borders of the former town of Pallanza, which, in 1939, was merged with Intra to form the current comune of Verbania.

Features

edit

The station yard consists of three tracks. Two are operating lines, used by trains coming from the direction of Milan or from Domodossola, respectively. The third is currently not used. This configuration supports a smooth flow of passengers, primarily in the direction of Milan. As at January 2010, the station was not served by the EuroCity trains travelling between Milan and Domodossola.

Interchange

edit

The station is interchange with the suburban bus line linking Verbania with Omegna, operated by VCO Trasporti.
