Torino Porta Susa (IATA:ITT) is arailway station inTurin, northernItaly; it is the second busiest mainline station in the city, afterTorino Porta Nuova. It is located inCorsoInghilterra.
The station was built in 1868 during the expansion of the city towards the west. Trains between Torino Porta Nuova andMilan stop at the station, includingTGV services betweenParis and Milan and other services using theTurin–Milan high-speed line.
In April 2006, reconstruction of the station began in conjunction with theTurin Passante regional railway. This involved quadrupling of the number of tracks that run through central Turin. At Porta Susa station, the line was widened to six tracks with new platforms being built beneath the thoroughfareCorso Inghilterra. A 300-metre long, 19-metre high glass and steel structure has been built above the tracks to create a new station, which is intended to become Turin's main hub of urban, regional and international rail traffic.
The project was developed by the Paris-based studio, Silvio d'Ascia Architecture, in collaboration with AREP and Agostino Magnaghi, after the team had won an international competition.[1] The station was inaugurated on 14 January 2013 by Prime MinisterMario Monti.[2] The total cost – estimated at €65 million – was borne entirely by the rail network operator,Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI).[3] Plans for the reconstruction project also included a 100-metre high office tower for the Italian State Railways,Ferrovie dello Stato.
TheTurin Metro opened a metro station at Porta Susa, which provides additional connections withPorta Nuova andLingotto.
