Cusano Milanino Station: Transit Access in the Garden City

The Cusano Milanino stop on the S9 suburban rail line is located in the Stazione neighborhood of the Cusano Milanino district, within the northern part of the Metropolitan City of Milan. Operated by Ferrovienord and served by Trenord, this station offers direct service to key destinations such as Saronno, Seregno, Monza, and Milan Lambrate. Situated near Via Italia, the station features two platforms, a pedestrian underpass, real-time schedule displays, and connections to nearby bus routes. It plays a vital role in linking one of Italy's earliest garden cities to Milan's wider public transport network.

The Stazione neighborhood serves as a functional core for local mobility, positioned close to civic services, retail shops, and residential developments. The station is not far from the historic central area of Milanino, known for its tree-lined avenues and urban planning heritage. Local cyclists and pedestrians benefit from dedicated paths that link the station to surrounding zones, supporting low-impact commuting. As part of the S9 suburban line, the Cusano Milanino stop contributes to sustainable transit options in northern Milan while preserving the balance between the district’s historical charm and modern-day accessibility.

Piazza Cavour: Civic Hub of Cusano Milanino Station Area

Piazza Camillo Benso di Cavour is the principal square adjacent to the Cormano‑Cusano Milanino railway station, serving as the social and pedestrian gateway between Cusano Milanino and Cormano. The square lies within the Stazione neighborhood and acts as a focal point for commuters arriving by Trenord suburban lines S2, S4 and S12. It is surrounded by residential and small commercial buildings, and includes the historic Casa Cappelli at number 11, a private residence dating to before 1721 and part of the town’s protected historic center. The plaza also hosts essential services and eateries that cater to station users and locals alike.

Access to Piazza Cavour is excellent: bus stops such as P.za Trento e Trieste and Via Marconi/Via Manzoni lie within three to five minutes on foot, served by lines 166 and 729. The railway station itself opened in April 2015 replacing the old Cusano Milanino stop and unified the area’s rail access under one modern facility. The square’s open configuration allows clear sightlines to the station entrance and encourages pedestrian flow between transit and local streets. Piazza Cavour functions not only as an arrival point but also as a civic space supporting daily social life in the station area neighborhood.
