Passengers will use a downtown location instead of the station south of the town center. The release lists 31 weekday trains, 23 on Saturdays and 24 on Sundays, with service beginning at 4:53 a.m. weekdays and 6:19 a.m. weekends. It also announces expanded airport bus connections. Check the operators' current schedules before planning a connection.
The station provides 160 parking spaces, bicycle racks, electric-vehicle chargers and a separate bus area. Level boarding, heated waiting space, canopies, ticket machines and passenger information displays are among its accessibility and passenger amenities.
The $121.2 million project also includes roadway, rail and pedestrian improvements. Opening passenger service is not the same as finishing all construction. CTDOT says it is coordinating the remaining work with Amtrak; the spring 2028 completion date remains an expectation.
