Chivasso railway station is situated at Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi, at the northern edge of the town centre.
History
The station was opened on 20 October 1856, together with the rest of the Turin–Novara section of the Turin–Milan railway.[1] Two years later, upon the inauguration of the Chivasso–Aosta railway, the station became a junction station.[1]
The station was heavily damaged by Allied bombing during World War II.
Features
The station yard now features six tracks plus a bay platform that serves as the terminus of the line to Asti.
The goods yard, on the south side of the line and west of the station, was taken out of service in the second half of the 1990s and upgraded with the construction of a new bus terminal and the new public library.
