Track 6 of Milano Certosa Station

Track 6 of Milano Certosa Station is the railroad track on exit from Milan of Milan Passante railway of which the railway station is far west at Km 13 + 316.

The platform is equipped by benches, information panels and monitors on the trains arrival, it's covered and located along Via Triboniano.
Here stop modern double-decker Treno Servizio Regionale (Regional Service Train, TSR) evolution of Treno Alta Frequentazione (High Attendance Train, TAF) of Trenord, suburban lines S5 and S6 for Varese and Novara from Treviglio, running every 30 minutes each way.
On the track 6 pass sometimes any freight trains and regional trains that do not stop at the station.

The train stop is very frequented by local residents, Quarto Oggiaro, Musocco, Quartiere Varesina, Garegnano that use the railway as an alternative to public transport ATM return from Milan and commuters of west Milan.

Track 6 of Milano Certosa Station is my place of arrival, close to home, for travel to lakes, mountains and hills, from Lecco's mountains and Lecco from Passante railway station Milan Repubblica when I arrive at the Central station, or even from Milano Porta Garibaldi if I have taken the local train, from Milano Porta Garibaldi when my destination is Brianza until arriving to Lecco, or Canton Ticino.
Sometimes I use Milan Passante railway returning from Milan avoiding the slowness of tram 12 and 14 from the city center, via Milan Porta Venezia or Milan Porta Garibaldi, or from Milan Porta Garibaldi station coming from Corso Garibaldi and Corso Como.
Platform 6 was, for years, even my starting point towards Varese and around Varese up to lake of Lugano and Lake Maggiore, I remember with pleasure the World Championship Cycling 2008 in Varese, time trial and race in line male.

Leaving the train, taking the last carriages, a few meters lead me to Via Varesina underpass, the head coaches are nearest the underpass of Via Mambretti Via Triboniano.
