In early August 2026, Milan's metro Line M2 faced service suspensions between Centrale FS and Cadorna FN to allow for load-testing works at the Milano Porta Garibaldi station redevelopment. This followed an earlier electrical fault at Milano Centrale that caused significant delays. By mid-August, disruptions expanded to include broader railway infrastructure works and technical faults in the Milan metropolitan area. These included a 40-day track closure on the Albairate-Abbiategrasso section for maintenance and railway doubling, technical faults on the Milano-Mortara line, and the closure of the Milan Passante between Rogoredo and Villapizzone/Bovisa through August 30. These works resulted in the diversion or suspension of several suburban lines, such as S1, S2, S5, and S12, while lines S6 and S13 operated with limited service or replacement buses. On August 31, the Milan suburban railway Passante resumed full operations following the month-long maintenance period conducted by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). Service was restored on key lines including the S1, S5, and S13, reactivating major underground stations. However, service on the S6 line remains partially restricted due to construction for the new Milano Mind station. In September, disruptions shifted toward industrial action and scheduled maintenance. RFI scheduled extraordinary maintenance in the Milan rail hub for September 12 and 13, which caused changes to routes and schedules for high-speed and regional services, including Frecciarossa and Italo, with some services bypassing Milano Centrale. A 24-hour public transport strike organized by AL Cobas and Confial Trasporti is scheduled for October 9, 2026. This strike will affect ATM metros, buses, and trams, though service is expected to be guaranteed from opening until 09:00 and from 15:00 to 18:00. Regional trains and the Passante Ferroviario are not expected to be affected by this specific industrial action.
