Branford is a station along the Shore Line East commuter railroad between Stamford and New London, Connecticut. Branford is also a station on the northern section Northeast Corridor. Amtrak does not stop at this station but Amtrak trains can often be seen passing this station.[1] Prior to the establishment of the Shore Line East system, Branford was a stop for Amtrak's Beacon Hill trains.[2] The current station, with an ADA-compliant high-level side platform, opened on August 8, 2005, replacing a nearby earlier station with low-level platforms.[3]
Ridership increases have rendered the 200-spot parking lot at Branford insufficient.[4]
