Pavia railway station (Italian: Stazione di Pavia) serves the city and comune of Pavia, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. Opened in 1862, it forms part of the Genoa–Milan railway, and is also a terminus of four secondary railways, linking Pavia with Alessandria, Mantua, Vercelli and Stradella.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Train services are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Pavia railway station is situated at Piazzale della Stazione, a short distance to the west of the city centre.
The station was opened on 10 May 1862, upon the simultaneous completion of two sections of railway line. They were the Milan–Pavia section of what was to become the Treviglio–Pavia–Voghera railway, and the final section of the Pavia–Alessandria railway. The opening of these two sections of line made it possible for the first time to travel by train between Milan and Genoa.
Recent renovation work at the station was performed mainly on the passenger building. The lobby was made more spacious and comfortable by the removal of the walls separating the waiting room and the lobby. That space is now equipped with seats, local trades and other services. The lighting was also replaced, and appropriate technical alterations were made to comply with legal requirements. Architectural barriers were removed, the public conveniences were restructured, and new elevators were installed at the underpass and on the platforms. Routine maintenance was also carried out on the plastering, and windows and canopies were restored.
