Brandizzo railway station (Italian: Stazione di Brandizzo) serves the town and comune of Brandizzo, in the Piedmont region, of northwestern Italy.[1]

History

[edit]

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]
