History
The station was inaugurated in 1884, when the FS line from Cagliari was completed. In 1888 it became the terminal of the Sassari-Alghero line, owned by FdS. During the Second World War, on 14 May 1943, it was damaged during a bombardment.
Structure and transport
Located in the north-western side of the city and in front of the downtown, the large station building has 3 floors. In front of it, since 2006, is located a tram stop of the new metro-tramway line. Track gauge used in the station is mainly standard (1,435) and partly narrow (950 mm). Narrow gauge is used by the 3 lines owned by the FdS. 3 terminal tracks, used by FdS trains, are located in north of the building. After the 3 passerby tracks served by platforms, there are other 4 tracks used for freight traffic.
Sassari station, not electrified as others in Sardinia, is served by several regional trains to Porto Torres, Olbia, Oristano and Cagliari. The adjacent tram-train stop provides for urban services.
