The S4 is a commuter rail route forming part of the Milan suburban railway service (Italian: Servizio ferroviario suburbano di Milano), which converges on the city of Milan, Italy.[1]

The route runs over the infrastructure of the Milan–Asso railway. Like all other Milan suburban railway service routes, it is operated by Trenord.

Route[edit]

Line S4, a radial route, runs from Camnago-Lentate, in a southerly direction via the Milan–Asso railway, to Milano Cadorna, the railway's urban terminus.[2] The travel takes 42 minutes.[3]

The S4 was activated on 12 December 2004 between Seveso and Milano Cadorna.[4]
