Cascina Burrona is a suburban station on Line 2 of the Milan Metro in the village of Cascina Burrona, which is in the municipality of Vimodrone.

Contents

History

The station was opened in 1968, as a stop on Milan-Gorgonzola fast tramway line. It was one of four stations not included in the original project (together with Villa Fiorita, Bussero and Villa Pompea). Since 4 December 1972 the section from Cascina Gobba to Gorgonzola, where this station is located, was connected to Milan Metro Line 2 and operates as part of it ever since.

Station structure

The station has two concrete platforms, covered with translucent panels, and two tracks. Passenger building is located at the southern end of the platforms. The station is built entirely of prefabricated elements and its structure is similar to that of the stations of Villa Fiorita, Bussero and Villa Pompea, constructed at the same time.

  • Station video surveillance
