Renovation works on the interior and exterior of Lomazzo station (CO), on FERROVIENORD’s Saronno–Como Lago line, have been completed. The works were carried out in accordance with the new guidelines for station refurbishment approved by the Lombardy Region. They included the renovation of the façade, roof and external fencing. The waiting room reopened to the public on Wednesday 10 June, completely refurbished with new walls, flooring, suspended ceiling and lighting. For visually impaired passengers, LVE tactile pathways have been installed in the waiting room, along with tactile maps inside the station and on the platform.
29 RENOVATED STATIONS – The renovation of Lomazzo station is part of a broader programme to refurbish 29 stations on the Milan–Asso and Saronno–Como lines, which account for 25% of the entire FERROVIENORD network. Extraordinary maintenance works at the 29 stations, already completed at 20 stations and underway at a further four, are being funded by the Lombardy Region with €11.5 million.
THE GUIDELINES – The guidelines approved by the Lombardy Region for station refurbishment provide specific instructions on roofs, façades, windows and doors, waiting rooms, pedestrian underpasses and access ramps, shelters, station accessibility (LVE tactile pathways and tactile maps), as well as other associated rooms and buildings.
“This project,” said Claudia Maria Terzi, Lombardy Regional Councillor for Infrastructure and Public Works, “is part of the broader programme to refurbish 29 stations on the Milan–Asso and Saronno–Como lines, funded by the Lombardy Region with €11.5 million, and aims to improve station accessibility and usability. We are very pleased with the progress of the renovation programme. Our goal is to complete all the planned works, providing passengers with stations that are more accessible, comfortable and safe.”
“Stations are a central part of life in the communities served by the FERROVIENORD network. We are restoring them to their original beauty for all citizens, highlighting our strong commitment to the local area,” said FERROVIENORD President Pier Antonio Rossetti. “Thanks to our ongoing collaboration with the Lombardy Region, passengers now have access to better facilities, both in terms of comfort and services. This makes the station not merely a place to pass through, but a place where people can feel safer every day.”
