Train services are operated by the Lombard railway company Trenord.
Location
Monza railway station is located on Via Enrico Arosio, at the southern edge of the city centre.
History
The station was officially opened on 17 August 1840, as the terminus of the Milan–Monza railway, which was the first railway built in Lombardy and the second in Italy, after the Naples–Portici railway. Operations commenced the following day, 18 August 1840.[2] In July 1849, that line was extended to Camnago-Lentate, on its way to becoming the Milan–Chiasso railway.[2]
On 27 December 1873, Monza became a junction station, upon the opening of the final section of the Lecco–Milan railway, between Carnate-Usmate and Monza.[2]
The original passenger building was replaced with the present one in 1884, when the station was moved to a new location. In 1901, the original passenger building was demolished to facilitate the construction of the Via Turati bridge.[3]
The station yard consists of seven tracks: 1 and 2 for Chiasso, 3 previously shared between the Chiasso–Milan and Lecco–Milan railways, 4 and 5 for Tirano (RFI), and 6 (as the main platform) and 7 (as the overtaking platform) for the Lecco and Molteno lines.
The station also has a freight terminal that serves, amongst other things, the nearby storage area of the former Lombard Petroli, at Villasanta.

The station has about seven million passenger movements each year.[4] It is served by the following services:
