Giubiasco railway station (Template:Lang-it) is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Ticino and municipality of Giubiasco. The station is on the Swiss Federal Railways Gotthard railway, between Bellinzona and Lugano, and is the junction point with the Luino–Bellinzona railway that has a branch to Locarno.[1][4]
To the south of Giubiasco station, the Gotthard railway's main line commences its climb to the Monte Ceneri Tunnel under the Monte Ceneri Pass, leaving the valley of the Ticino river that it has followed since it left the Gotthard Tunnel, and heading for Lake Lugano. The steep line over Monte Ceneri is not suitable for high-speed rail or heavy freight trains which take the Ceneri Base Tunnel (opened in December 2020) direct to Lugano.[4][5][6]
As a major junction station, Giubiasca has two island platforms serving four platform tracks, together with a number of freight tracks. However, all long-distance trains pass through the station without stopping, serving instead Bellinzona station, one stop to the north.
