Ownership and operation[edit]

It's not clear to me who owns or manages the station itself, and I couldn't find any sources for SBB's involvement. Here's what I have found:

BLS is now the only operator whose trains stop at the station (see the various timetables linked in the article).
My 2012 edition of Eisenbahnatlas Schweiz shows the SBB/RFI boundary just before the station. That's not dispositive.
Somewhat surprisingly there's an opentransportdata entry for this station, along with the others up to Domodossola. It gives the data provider for this station, Varzo, and Preglia as "FS Domo". For Domodossola it says SBB.

The station is in Italy. The platform signs are FS-style signs. The street signs visible in google street view are FS signs. the it.wiki article about the line says that under an agreement between FS and SBB, the SBB ownership and management of the track (as opposed to train operations on the track) ceases at the Iselle station throat. I therefore think it's appropriate to assume that the station is managed by RFI, the infrastructure management subsidiary of FS. Just who actually owns the station is less clear. On my reading of a google translation of the Italian version of the RFI website, it seems that RFI manages the Italian railway network under a contract with the government of Italy. That suggests that the network, including the station, is owned by the government of Italy rather than by FS or RFI. From the point of view of an en.wiki reader, the identity of the manager is probably more important than that of the owner. Perhaps the infobox should therefore be amended to leave the owner parameter blank, and name RFI as the operator. (Similar comments probably apply to most of the other non-urban railway stations in Italy.) Bahnfrend (talk) 07:40, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
