Plymouth is a passenger rail station on MBTA Commuter Rail's Plymouth/Kingston Line. The station is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the Cordage Park complex of North Plymouth. Plymouth is one terminus of the MBTA's Kingston/Plymouth Line, along with Kingston station in nearby Kingston, Massachusetts. The Plymouth station provides non-peak and occasional peak along with the Kingston station service to Braintree and as far north as Boston's South Station. Most trains on the line serve only Kingston station; service to and ridership from Plymouth are thus very limited.

Plymouth station, along with the rest of the Plymouth/Kingston Line and the Middleborough/Lakeville Line, opened for service on September 29, 1997.[2]

A previous station was located at Boundary Lane on the Plymouth/Kingston border, just north of the current site. Built as North Plymouth in 1873, it was renamed to Seaside around 1880 and Cordage in 1925.[3] The station closed with the rest of the Old Colony Division on June 30, 1959.[4]
