'''Line SFM4''' is part of the [Turin](/source/Metropolitan_City_of_Turin) [Metropolitan Railway Service](/source/Turin_Metropolitan_Railway_Service). It connects the Cirié station with the [Alba railway station](/source/Alba_railway_station) using the Turin-[Ceres](/source/Ceres%2C_Piedmont) railway, the Turin railway link, the [Carmagnola](/source/Carmagnola)-[Bra](/source/Bra%2C_Piedmont) railway and the [Cavallermaggiore](/source/Cavallermaggiore)-[Alessandria](/source/Alessandria) railway.
The trains, 31 in total per day, run hourly (two-hourly on holidays). The main interchange hubs are [Turin Lingotto](/source/Turin_Lingotto_railway_station) and [Turin Porta Susa](/source/Turin_Porta_Susa_railway_station),[{{cite web|url=http://www.sfmtorino.it/le-linee-sfm/sfm4-torino-bra/|title=Linea SFM4 Torino-Bra|website=sfmtorino.it|access-date=30 April 2015}}] both stations offer a connection to [Turin Metro](/source/Turin_Metro) ([Lingotto](/source/Lingotto_(Turin_Metro)) and [Porta Susa](/source/Porta_Susa_(Turin_Metro)) metro stations respectively).
==History==
The line was opened on 9 December 2012.[{{cite web|title=La Stampa |url=http://www2.lastampa.it/2012/09/12/cronaca/i-primi-treni-metropolitani-con-il-nuovo-orario-invernale-eZ6iP2wsHgzjLEZeikTEEO/index.html |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120915043525/http://www2.lastampa.it/2012/09/12/cronaca/i-primi-treni-metropolitani-con-il-nuovo-orario-invernale-eZ6iP2wsHgzjLEZeikTEEO/index.html |archivedate=2012-09-15 }}]
In autumn 2016, electrification works were carried out between Bra station and Alba station, at the end of which a direct connection between Alba and Turin was made possible. In addition, on weekdays except Saturdays, two pairs of trains are available to and from [Turin Porta Nuova railway station](/source/Turin_Porta_Nuova_railway_station), thus connecting the city of Alba to the historic centre of Turin.
Until 20 January 2024, before the activation of the connection with Ciriè along the Turin-Ceres railway, the line terminated at the [Turin Stura station](/source/Torino_Stura_railway_station).[{{cite web|url=https://www.fsnews.it/it/focus-on/servizi/2024/1/19/nuovo-collegamento-torino-aeroporto-.html|title=Inaugurato il nuovo servizio Torino-Aeroporto.
