Arcore railway station is a railway station in Italy. Located on the Lecco–Milan railway, it serves the municipality of Arcore with trains from and to Monza-Milano or Lecco ("S8", main service), and Bergamo (regional trains, "R").

A second station - of a different railway line, the Monza-Molteno-Lecco railway - is present in Arcore, located in Ca' Bianca-Buttafava area (Buttafava railway station, of "S7" line of Milan suburban railway service), with trains from and to Monza-Milano or Lecco, but running through a more long and slow way than the trains of the main Arcore station (across the brianza hills zone - Colli Briantei - instead than straight to Lecco through the most short way).

A ticket office is present in main Arcore station (Not at Buttafava station, and not self-service machines on both stations).

When Ticket Office is closed, and no other kind of Trenord authorised resellers is open around 200 meter from the station, ticket can be purchased aboard of the train, asking soon for this just when goin aboard to the "chief train" (Italian: capotreno); otherwise you have to pay surcharge and/or mulct.

The most part of the tickets require to be convalidated just some minutes before to go aboard the train, by electronic machine validation (blue or green colored, for small Magneto-Electronic SBME paper tickets) or mechanics machine validation (yellow colored, for the 2 kind of normal paper tickets), both located in the station; this will start the countdown for expiration of the ticket, by stamping current date, time, location/validation-machine-id on it, and in case also reading and recording information on magnetic data strip of SBME tickets. If the machine validation you need is out of service, ask soon for convalidation to chief train when aboard.
