Features

Services inside the station include ticketing, a waiting area, shops, offices, and the headquarters of the Railway Police. Eight tracks run through the station. As they are all equipped with platforms, they can all be used for passenger service. The platforms are connected by two subways. One of them connects the historic district of San Zeno, the platforms and the passenger building, and ends on the other side of the ring road opposite the passenger building. The other subway, to the west of the first one, connects the platforms with the parking station. Treviso Centrale is also equipped with a locomotive shed and some stabling facilities for passenger rolling stock that is not in use. There are two goods yards. One is located just beyond the station towards Udine (''Treviso Scalo Motta''), without crossing loops but with various sidings and a small office building. The second yard re-uses the freight yard and the warehouse of the former Treviso Porta Santi Quaranta railway station (now incorporated into Treviso Centrale). Although the goods service is rather modest compared to the past, it is still in operation. Rail traffic at the station is handled with an ACEI type control console with tabulation of train paths and routes.
