✨ AI Summary
Infrastructure and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini announced on 13 November 2026, by video link from Milan, a protocol "being signed" in Lombardy with Fs Security: from 2027 a hundred staff will patrol Trenord trains and stations. The operators will be aged between 19 and 30 and will work from 6am to midnight, seven days a week. The measure is aimed at commuters, but it also matters for anyone arriving in Lombardy by train: the smaller stations are often the gateway to a day of travelling.
Anyone who takes the train to work in Lombardy, and likewise anyone arriving in Milan on a regional service for a day in the city, has something new to factor in from 2027. Infrastructure and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini announced on 13 November 2026 a protocol "being signed in Lombardy" to put a hundred Fs Security staff on Trenord trains and stations. He did so by video link at an event marking one hundred years of Fnm's stock listing at Palazzo Mezzanotte: the announcement, according to the Adnkronos account, came from the stage of a corporate celebration rather than a dedicated press conference.
Who gets on board, and when
The pool of a hundred operators, as the minister explained, is recruited from young people "aged 19 to 30", and the start is set "from spring 2027". Their hours match the whole regional rail service: "from 6am to midnight, seven days a week, covering the entire service". Their patch is made up of the "small" stations, the network's smaller outposts, where staffing is thinnest.
For Salvini, the underlying idea is a transplant of a model that already exists: something "that exists at national level and finally arrives with dedicated teams at regional level". The benefit, again according to the minister, is for "workers, students and commuters".
What the announcement does not say
Two things are for now outside the protocol as described: the cost of the operation and the exact signing date. The source speaks of an agreement "being signed", with no deadline attached. Nor is there an official Fs or Trenord statement attached to the announcement: so the presence of the hundred operators is, as things stand, a ministerial statement, not a service already running. Anyone planning a trip on a Lombardy regional train in spring 2027 cannot yet count on that guarantee: for now the useful point is that small stations are at the centre of the plan, and that the presence covers the whole service window, not just evening hours.
For readers who treat transport as a budget line, the network already has two useful pieces: the 48-hour notice rule for airport assistance and the school staff strike of 20 November, which moves travel plans for that day.
