'''Montecara Pòrta Conìxia railway station''' ([[Montecaran language|Montecaran]]: '''''Staxiò Montecara Pòrta Conìxia''''') is the principal rail terminal in [[Montecara]], serving nearly 15 million passengers per year.  
'''Montecara Pòrta Conìxia railway station''' ([[Montecaran language|Montecaran]]: ''Staxiò Montecara Pòrta Conìxia'') is the main rail terminal in [[Montecara]], serving over 80,000 passengers per day and 30 million passengers per year. It is served by trains on the [[Euclostar]], [[Paretian Railway Service|SFP]], [[Viaurea]], [[Metrovìa]], and [[Tranvìa]] networks and by buses and ferries operated by [[VM]].


== History ==
== History ==
The idea for a major train station in the center of Montecara was born in the late nineteenth century by officials in the [[Gaullica|Gaullican]] administration that then ruled the city. The Gaullican Empire had built out the first rail lines beginning in the 1850s, and by the 1880s there was a clear need for both a central station for the rails that crisscrossed the island and an interconnected shipping terminal that would allow for easy passenger and cargo connections to mainland [[Euclea]]. Pòrta Conìxia was intended to serve both of these needs. Passengers would enjoy seamless connections between steamships and local trains, with cargo shuttled back and forth just as easily. Planning began in the early 1890s, with construction starting in 1896.  
The station was built as Montecara's main ferry terminal. Planning began in the early 1890s, with construction starting in 1896. The station was the first major building in Montecara in the {{wp|Art Nouveau|Stìl Dècora}} style that was coming into vogue in turn-of-the-century Euclea. The architect, Demètrio Ribi, was one of the most famous Montecaran architects of the era. Building was completed in early summer 1904, and the terminal saw its first passenger service on 8 June.
 
The station was the first major edifice in Montecara to be built in the {{wp|Art Nouveau|Stìl Dècora}} style that was coming into vogue in turn-of-the-century Euclea. The architect, Demètrio Ribi, was one of the most famous Montecaran architects of the era and went on to design public buildings in [[Auratia]] and [[Etruria]], among other countries. Building was completed in early summer 1904, and the first scheduled passenger train departed the station at 10:11 on 8 June 1904.
 
A new era for the station began on 11 December 1963 with the opening of the [[Cross-Strait Tunnel]], allowing for direct rail service to mainland Euclea for the first time. In order to accommodate the new trains, a level had to be constructed under the old platforms perpendicular to the existing rails. Because the original station's rails were already mostly underground thanks to its cut-and-cover construction, the new rails had to be tunneled fully underground, resulting in an unusual three-story station layout with all platforms underground.
 
== Services and connections ==
=== Intercity rail ===
The station is on the [[Euclostar]] and [[Trenalia]] networks. International services all run through the [[Cross-Strait Tunnel]] under the [[Aurean Straits|Western Aurean Strait]].
 
=== Regional rail ===
All five [[Trenalia Rexiò]] lines serve the station, connecting Montecara to destinations in eastern [[Paretia]].
 
=== Rapid transit ===
[[VM]] serves the station with Metrovìa and Tranvìa lines.
 
=== Ferry ===
In keeping with its original purpose as a ship-to-rail transfer station, Pòrta Conìxia has five slips for ferries, with routes to points around the [[Bay of Montecara]] and across the [[Aurean Straits]]. VM provides domestic transit ferry service, and a number of private lines provide international service to [[Tsabara]] and mainland Euclea.


=== Bus ===
The terminal was expanded and converted into a rail station in advance of the [[Aurean Tunnel]] opening in 1969. The square in front of the terminal was entirely excavated and tracks and platforms were installed, a process that took nearly four years.  
VM provides transit bus services to and from the station. Service is curbside; there are no bus bays inside the station building.

The station has around 70 retail tenants in both street-facing and interior locations. These include bars and restaurants, newsstands, bookstores, souvenir shops, florists, tobacconists, grocers, and a branch of [[Poste de Montecara]]. Other options include include [[H Opera]] and [[j&j]] for {{wp|Fast fashion|fast fashion}}, [[Open|Open Express]] for convenience shopping, [[Haberlin's]] for confectionery, and [[Sarkiades Voyager]] for travel services. Bank branches include [[Bànca Ultramarìn]], [[Hargreaves]], [[Jindao-Tolbury]], [[Rentenbank]], and [[Société générale-RLB]].
