editThe station was opened with the Foligno–Terontola railway in 1866. Its name was changed from Perugia Scalo Ponte San Giovanni to Perugia Ponte San Giovanni in 1927.[2]
Buildings and infrastructure
editThe station building is on two levels but only the ground floor is accessible by passengers. Two smaller, single-storey buildings symmetrically branch off from the station building. The entrances to the station building are covered by undulating canopies on both sides of the building, which also act as a shelter for track 1.
The station includes four through tracks:
- track 1 is used for crossing and overtaking movements on the Foligno–Terontola line.
- track 2 is a normal service track of the Foligno–Terontola line.
- track 3 is used for crossing and overtaking movements on the Foligno–Terontola line.
- track 4 is a running track of the Perugia–Terni line managed by the Rete Ferroviaria Italiana.
All the tracks are equipped with a platform and a shelter and the platforms are connected to each other by a modern underpass.
