The current station was built to an
Art Deco design and was completed in 1935, replacing another station at Madonnina Rossa. It serves as the midpoint and terminating station of most trains on the
Central Tuscan Railway, with current services mostly running either to
Chiusi-Chianciano Terme or
Empoli, a large percentage continuing to
Florence SMN. The section from Siena to Empoli opened in 1849, but the sections south of Siena opened gradually: the Siena-Sinalunga section was completed in 1859, and the last section was completed over the next 3 years, meaning the line was fully completed on 24 July 1862. The line to
Grosseto has had two different routes. In 1872 a line was opened from
Asciano to
Grosseto via
Monte Antico, with trains using the
Central Tuscan line from
Siena before diverging at
Asciano onto the new section. In 1906, a faster line was proposed, running down to
Buonconvento before travelling alongside the
Ombrone river to
Monte Antico. This was opened in 1927. This station was opened in 1935, and has 6 platforms in operation. Platforms 1-5 are through platforms, and there is a bay platform to the north alongside platform 1, identified as platform 1
tronco. There are various sidings around the station, notably alongside the bay, where rolling stock for the historic steam and diesel
Trenonatura services along the
Asciano-Monte Antico line is sometimes kept. == Services ==
