Novara and Malpensa rail connection project
Overview
A memorandum of understanding between the Piedmont and Lombardy regions has established plans for a new direct rail service connecting Novara to Milan Malpensa Airport, Varese, and the Swiss Canton of Ticino. Expected to be active by March 1, 2027, the project involves extending the S50 cross-border line to provide hourly service toward Lugano and Bellinzona. The initiative aims to reduce travel times to Malpensa terminals to under 35 minutes and improve regional connectivity.
Following the announcement, local representatives in the Castanese area have requested additional stops along the route. While the service is confirmed to stop in Galliate, authorities in towns such as Turbigo, Castano Primo, and Vanzaghello are seeking inclusion in the transit plan, noting that these locations lie along the route utilizing the Sacconago rail link.
