Trenord, the railway operator in Lombardy, has initiated several operational updates. The company opened recruitment for new train conductors to support its daily services, including the Malpensa Express, requiring a six-month training program for successful candidates.

Simultaneously, the operator expanded its Pay&Go contactless payment system. Developed with FNMPAY, the ‘tap in / tap out’ service was extended to the Milano Cadorna-Novara Nord regional line and the S3 Milano Cadorna-Saronno suburban line, allowing passengers to use contactless cards or NFC-enabled smartphones.

The Pay&Go system, which utilizes Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, or American Express, requires passengers to tap both upon entry and arrival to ensure correct fare calculation, including specific airport rates for Malpensa terminals. This expansion follows existing services on the Como Lago and Laveno Mombello lines, as Trenord aims to gradually extend the technology across its entire Lombardy network.

To further strengthen its workforce, Trenord has launched a recruitment campaign running through September 21, 2026. Beyond train conductors (capitreno), the company is seeking specialized roles, including a Junior IT Project Manager and an HR Talent & Development Specialist, to support technological innovation and human capital management.
