Genova Sampierdarena railway station (Italian: Stazione di Genova Sampierdarena) is located in Piazza Montano, in the Sampierdarena district of Genoa, Italy. It is Genoa's third most important railway station, after Genova Piazza Principe and Genova Brignole.
The station is owned by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), a subsidiary of the Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) group. The commercial area of the station building is managed by Centostazioni. RFI internally classifies the facility in its gold category.
Ábout 7,000,000 passengers use the station each year.
The original nucleus of the station was built in 1853 at the completion of Genoa-Busalla section of the Turin–Genoa railway.
The station was then enlarged with the construction of the Genoa–Ventimiglia railway and the Asti–Genoa railway, for which it is also a junction station.
Genova Sampierdarena has six tracks for passenger traffic. The first four, located on the north side of the station, are for the three lines passing through the station, while tracks 5 and 6, parallel to the coast, serve the line to Ventimiglia via Savona.
Alongside tracks 5 and 6 are two entrances that connect directly with the new Fiumara park area. The other entrances are in Piazza Nicolò Montano (interchange with numerous bus lines), Via Paolo Reti and Via Stefano Dondero.
The station is used mainly for metropolitan, regional and interregional traffic.
In the near future, work will begin on renovations involving most of the station. Initially, two new terminating tracks will be created to accommodate trains on the line from Giovi, and the underpass will be restructured with the addition of elevators and the likely construction of a new underpass. The platforms will then be rebuilt and fitted with wind barriers.
