The new 2025 timetable comes into effect from 15 December. Apart from a few changes, it mainly includes a consolidation of the TILO range of services from 2024. There are temporary timetable changes due to planned construction works on the railways. Passengers are recommended to consult the online timetable before travelling.
TILO Pigiama
The timetable changes include the introduction of night services on a few days before certain public holidays. The so-called “pyjama connections” operate on the following nights:
RE80 Locarno‒Lugano‒Chiasso‒Milan
The additional connections introduced in June 2024 are confirmed and are included in the annual timetable. These are: the connection that runs daily from Locarno at 8:22 p.m. and arrives at Milano Centrale at 10:17 p.m., and the RE80 connection, which operates daily from Milano Centrale at 10.43 p.m. and arrives at Locarno at 12.38 a.m.
Balerna station will again be served by evening trains from Locarno at 9:22 p.m., 10:22 p.m. and 11.22 p.m., and by the evening train from Milan at 9.43 p.m.
S50 Biasca–Bellinzona–Lugano–Varese–Malpensa
The extension of the S50 connection from Gallarate is also confirmed and is included in the annual timetable. This is the morning S50 connection from Gallarate at 5.45 a.m., which continues on to Varese, Lugano, Bellinzona and Biasca. This connection departs from Varese at 6:06 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
S10 Biasca–Bellinzona–Lugano–Chiasso–Como
With the new timetable, the S10 connection from Como S. Giovanni at 7.10 a.m. now departs from a different station. From Monday to Friday, the S10 departs from Como Camerlata at 7 a.m. The S10 southbound, arriving at Chiasso at 6.40 a.m., terminates here and does not continue on to Como S. Giovanni. Services operate to and from Como S. Giovanni on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
S30 Cadenazzo–Luino–Gallarate
The connection to Bellinzona from Monday to Friday, departing from Luino at 5.40 a.m., also stops at Magadino-Vira. Therefore, the connection from Bellinzona at 5.53 a.m. no longer stops at Magadino-Vira.
Construction works: summer timetable
A summer timetable comes into effect from 21 June to 31 August 2025. This means that several larger construction projects can be carried out on the Ticino railway network at the same time. All changes are included in the annual timetable.
The following connections in particular are affected:
Evening closure for Cadenazzo–Locarno
From 2 February to 11 December, the route between Cadenazzo and Locarno will be closed from Sunday to Thursday from 11.10 p.m. until the end of operations. This affects the S20 and RE80 lines. This is due to work on the dual-track expansion between Contone and Ponte sul Ticino. Rail replacement buses operate. The trains operate normally during the school holidays and the Rabadan carnival in Bellinzona.
Trackworks on S30 line
For services between Ranzo S. Abbondio and Luino on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, the connections from Cadenazzo at 10.04 a.m. and from Luino at 11.18 a.m. are cancelled. Rail replacement buses operate.
Given these changes, we recommend that all travellers check their connections on the online timetable by entering a date after 15 December 2024.
