Stations by region

Lists of railway stations in Italy by region. [3]

Classification

RFI classifies stations into Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze categories. [4]

Platinum

Major stations with over 6,000 passengers per day. As major interchanges they will have many departures and arrivals daily, and will be served by high-speed/long-distance services. They are the principal stations for the Italian cities they serve. They have the highest commercial potential (both fares and revenue from on-site merchants). [5]

Gold

Gold stations have high traffic levels. These include major urban inter-changes and stations serving large towns. They have a lower commercial potential.

Silver

This class includes all other small to medium-sized stations served by metropolitan and regional services. Some of these may be served by long-distance services.

Bronze

Small stations with low passenger numbers. This includes minor stations served by regional services.
