Massa Centro railway station is situated in Piazza IV Novembre, to the south of the city centre.
History
The station was opened on 1 November 1862, upon the inauguration of the Massa–Seravezza section of the Pisa–La Spezia–Genoa railway. Five months later, on 15 May 1863, the line was extended from Massa to Sarzana, in the neighbouring region of Liguria.[1]
In 1939, the passenger building was renovated, to a design of the architect Roberto Narducci.
Features
The station has three tracks for passengers and two through tracks for goods traffic.
Track 1 serves trains bound for Pisa Centrale, and Track 2 is for trains heading for La Spezia Centrale. Track 3 is used as both an exchange platform and for overtaking. The platforms facing all three tracks have long marble canopies and are connected by an underpass.
There are also many monitors showing arrival and departure information in real time.
Passenger and train movements
The station has about 1.1 million passenger movements each year.[2]
