The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Train services to and from the station are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Pordenone railway station is situated in Via Pola, at the western edge of the city centre.
The station became operational on 1 May 1855 (1855-05-01), when the portion of the Venice–Udine railway between Treviso Centrale and Pordenone was opened. In the same year, the next portion of line, to Casarsa, was completed. Only in 1860 did the line reach its final destination, Udine.[1]
The station is equipped with a large passenger building that houses many services, including ticketing, a kiosk, a bar, a bank, and a Club Eurostar.
