Treviglio railway station (Italian: Stazione di Treviglio), also known as Treviglio centrale railway station (Italian: Stazione centrale di Treviglio) is the main station serving the town and comune of Treviglio, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. Opened in 1878, it has a higher average number of passengers per day than Treviglio's other railway station, Treviglio Ovest.
The station lies on the Milan–Venice railway, Treviglio–Bergamo railway and Treviglio–Cremona railway and is terminus of two suburban railways passing through Milan toward Novara (S6) and Varese (S5).
By those lines are also reachable Brescia, Lodi and Verona.
The station is managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) and the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. The train services are operated mainly by Trenord.
Location

History
The station was opened on 5 March 1878, upon the inauguration of the direct Treviglio–Rovato section of the Milan–Venice railway,[2] being the second in the newborn Kingdom of Italy.
In 1885, the station became part of the Rete Adriatica, under the management of the Società per le Strade Ferrate Meridionali (Template:Lang-en, SFM). After the nationalisation of Italy's railways in 1905, it was operated by the FS.
In 2014 the station has been modernized, with the reconstruction of the square before the facade to facilitate traffic and the introduction of elevators for disabled and cameras for security.
Since 2016 a police unit has been placed in the station, considering the increasing of aggressions and thieft on public transports on national scale.
