Centrale FS, Milan Metro station
Centrale FS is an underground railway station in the heart of Milan, located directly beneath the main railway station above. It connects two metro lines and features a straightforward functional design with high ceilings and two levels where trains arrive and depart.
Line 2 of the metro opened in the early 1970s and created the origin of this station. Line 3 was added later in 1990, initially operating between just two points before the tracks were extended southward to reach more neighborhoods.
The name Centrale FS refers to the railway that forms the core of the transport network. This station is where commuters, travelers, and students meet daily, and the rhythms of city life become visible to anyone passing through.
The station is easy to navigate with clear signs and open spaces that help visitors move around without confusion. Seating areas allow travelers to rest, and connections between the different train lines or to the main station above can be made quickly.
The station connects the railway with two different metro levels, one running deeper than the other, creating different depth zones for travelers. This architecture allows two lines to operate efficiently side by side underground, which becomes noticeable to users when moving between levels.
