Malpensa Airport Milano centrale

The Malpensa Express is an airport rail service linking the city of Milan with Malpensa Airport, in the region of Lombardy, Northern Italy.

Trenord operates Malpensa Express services between Malpensa Airport and both Milan Cadorna and Milan Central stations.

Launched on 30 May 1999, the Malpensa Express originally ran between Malpensa Aeroporto and Milan Cadorna stations only. It was operated initially by Ferrovie Nord Milano and later by Trenitalia subsidiary LeNORD.

In late 2010, airport rail services to and from Malpensa were reorganised. Malpensa Express services to and from Milan Cadorna, operated by Trenord, continued to link the airport with the city. To coincide with the timetable change on 10 December 2010, however, new services to Milano Centrale were introduced.

In December 2016 a 3.4 kilometre extension of the line from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 opened.The new Malpensa Terminal 2 railway station is 200 metres north of the T2 arrivals hall, that is accessed by an outdoor covered walkway.

There are two kind of train services linking Milano Centrale to Malpensa Airport. One service ("MXP") calls at Milano Porta Garibaldi (a station more often used than Centrale by commuters around the city), Milano Bovisa, Saronno and Busto Arsizio Nord; the other service ( "R" ) call at Milano Porta Garibaldi, Milano Bovisa, Saronno, Rescaldina, Castellanza, Busto Arsizio Nord and Ferno-Lonate Pozzolo. The running times of both services ("Milan Central" to "Malpensa Airport Terminal 2") is about 57 minutes; they both have 2' class.

At Milano Centrale station, the Malpensa Express departs usually from tracks 1 or 2, and heads along the new railway section nicknamed the Umbrella Handle; the Malpensa Express then passes through Mirabello junction to join the line from Greco Pirelli to Milano Porta Garibaldi station (west of Milano Centrale station).

At Porta Garibaldi station, the Malpensa Express uses the new route (to the north of the old one), which crosses Farini yard. It reaches PM Ghisolfa and leaves the RFI network to enter tracks 1 and 2 at Milano Bovisa station. The rest of the Malpensa Express route from Bovisa-Politenico station to Malpensa is the same as for its counterparts from Cadorna.

The use of above trains for journeys starting or ending in Malpensa Airport Stations is allowed with a special price ticket,but is also possible a limited use with other kind of tickets usually valid for trains in Lombardia region.[9] Even the other rail service to Malpensa (TiLo S30) have a similar ticket limitation scheme for journeys starting or ending in Malpensa
