The route operates over the infrastructure of the Milan–Asso and Milan Passante railways. Like all other Milan suburban railway service routes, it is operated by Trenord.

Route

Line S2, a cross-city route, heads initially in a southwesterly direction from Mariano Comense to Seveso, and then south to Milano Bovisa-Politecnico. From there, the line runs across the municipality of Milan, via the Milan Passante railway, to Milano Rogoredo.[2] The travel takes 1h08'.[3]

History

The S2 was activated on 12 December 2004, and operated initially between Mariano Comense and Milano Porta Vittoria.[4]

With the change of timetable on 15 June 2008, the line was extended from Milano Porta Vittoria to Milano Rogoredo, where there is interchange with regional trains and long-distance services to and from Genoa, Bologna and Mantua.[5]

The initial plans for the line foresaw a further extension from Milano Rogoredo to Pavia,[6] but that has not materialized: Pavia since been connected to the suburban railway service by the new line S13.
