History
[edit]The station was opened on 8 September 1856, upon the inauguration of the Santhià–Biella railway.[1] It was originally equipped with three tracks.
From 10 July 1951, with the end of the concession to the "Società Strade Ferrate di Biella (SFB)" company, the management of the railway line passed to the state and the exercise of the stations was assumed by Ferrovie dello Stato.[2]
From 2006 the station was declassified to a railway stop, and remains in operation, but with only one track and one platform.
In the year 2000, the plant management passed to Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, which is classified in the category "Bronze".[3]
