Saronno–Novara railway is a railway line in Lombardy, Italy.

It is one of the three continuations of the Milan-Saronno railway.

History

The line was opened by the FNS in two parts in 1887:[1]

  • 27 June 1887: Novara (FNS)–Busto Arsizio (FNS)
  • 5 October 1887: Busto Arsizio (FNS)–Saronno

The stations in Novara and in Busto Arsizio were connected by two railway junctions to the state railway stations:[1]

  • Novara (FNS)–Novara (RM), opened on 27 June 1887
  • Busto Arsizio (FNS)–Busto Arsizio (RM), opened on 21 October 1887

A line for Malpensa Airport starts from Busto Arsizio Nord railway station.
