Malpensa Express, run by Trenord, serves the airport from Milano Centrale and Milano Cadorna. Trenord states that trains leave every 30 minutes from both stations and take about 51 minutes from Milano Centrale to Terminal 1.[2]
From Milano Cadorna, which Trenord says is in the historic centre, trains leave from platform 1 and take about 37 minutes to Terminal 1 and about 43 minutes to Terminal 2. Trenord gives 04:57 as the first departure from Cadorna and 23:27 as the last, and 05:20 and 00:20 as the first and last from Terminal 2.[2],[3]
From Terminal 1, Trenord says four trains an hour run without changes to the two Milan stations. It says the last run is operated by a bus from floor -1, going to Milano Cadorna.[2]

The P6 Smart car parks have a free shuttle to T1 and T2, approximately every 15 minutes by day and every 30 minutes at night. Booking changes are free up to 3 hours before the parking entry time. Prices are not shown without a booking search, so none are given here.[5]

Trenord says you can also ask its disability assistance office at least 24 hours in advance on the toll-free number +39 800 210 955, and that Sala Amica only guarantees assistance to passengers with an airline ticket.[6]
