Brandizzo railway station (Italian: Stazione di Brandizzo) serves the town and comune of Brandizzo, in the Piedmont region, of northwestern Italy. [1]
The station was activated in 1856, as part of the first section of the Turin-Novara line. [2]
Since 2012 it has been on the SFM2 line of the Turin metropolitan railway service. [3] Trains on this line pass through Turin city centre.
Soon after midnight on 31 August 2023, an empty passenger train being used to transport wagons between stations ran over a team of track maintenance workers. The impact killed five people, while two others were taken to the hospital despite being unharmed. [4] [5]
The station consists of two through platforms.
