Cadorna FS

Arriving from the airport on the express train (€ 18 euro round trip, ouch!) I found this station pretty easy to navigate and as soon as you put your ticket they, there is this board which quickly lets you know which platform to go to get your train.
I did find it weird that there was NO seating on the platform for the Malpensa train and I had to walk back out toward the entry to find a seat to sit. I literally ran to the platform to see the lights piling away, so had plenty of time to kill and people watch since the Malpensa train apparently only runs every 30 mins. It was after 9pm and the clean crew was in progress with this big noisy machine.
Getting to the train station was a bit of a challenge to — it sits in this middle of this island when walking from the duomo and so I experience some frustration, when already running late, having to cross excessive sets of lights.
Also, what’s up with those weird multicolored twisted steel artwork up front?

Along with Central Station, Cadorna Railway Station is THE busiest of the stations in Milan.
Its location is optimal, within walking distance from the Sforza Castle and but 2 subways stops from Duomo Cathedral.
So, why just 3 stars? Because this IS the inbound/​outbound Malpensa Express Station, and it should/​could have been structured a whole lot better.
There’s but the tiniest waiting area (equipped with A/​C) for the Malpensa Express costumers (but packed with all sorts of travelling people seeking cool air during the summer and warmth during winter. Yes, because EVERY single other seating arrangement is «outdoors» (within the station) and subject to weather inclement bursts.
There is the beloved Burger King upstairs (which raises the bar a bit higher). An Alemagna bar (for those seeking coffee, sweets or sandwiches). There also is a travel agency, a bank and a big newspapers stand (with somewhat limited international press).
There also are a few shops but they are almost hidden in a gallery.
The access to the tracks is limited to those that have a valid ticket.
I believe this station has a whole universe of untapped potential. But, those in charge will never allot the proper funds towards the station…

Angenehmer Bahnhof, Verbindung M2 und M1 aber auch die für mich wichtige Tram.

This is the station that you come into if you get on the train from the airport, the Malpensa Express. It’s a decent sized station and everything you need well sign posted. The airport train has a separate ticket office and the platforms are set further back, on the left as you go in. So allow an extra few minutes to get there although using the ticket machines will make things faster. There is a separate side entrance to the station for this purpose which is where taxis will drop you off if asked.
Other than that, there a fair few shops and food choices and often a food market outside (I dont know what days!).
The plus about this station though is that you’re a few minutes walk right into the old town, leading up to the castle. Enjoy!

Train station in Milan, not so far from Sforzesco Castle. Underground stop is in front of it. M1 red line could brings you to Duomo.
