Recent History
On December 14, 2008, the new stops at Fiumara Gazzi, Mili Marina, Ponte Santo Stefano, Ponte Schiavo, and San Paolo were opened.[1] These stops were served by trains from the Giampilieri-Messina Metroferrovia starting on June 15 of the following year.[2][3]
In October 2009, the station was hit by a landslide flood that interrupted the Messina-Syracuse line for several days.
For the Messina-Catania line – an electrified double track connection between Fiumefreddo-Giampilieri section work began in 2022 and completion is scheduled for December 2029.[4]
The station is connected to the city centre by two ATM bus lines: line no. 1 Shuttle (Lighthouse Tower - Central Station - Giampilieri Superiore) and line no. 2 shuttle (Briga - Giampilieri Superiore - Altolia).[5]
