Guilford station serves the town of Guilford, Connecticut. It is situated on the Northeast Corridor and owned by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. It is served by Shore Line East commuter trains which run from Stamford and New London, Connecticut. Amtrak intercity trains pass through this station but do not stop.[1] The current station, with ADA-compliant high-level side platforms, opened on November 28, 2005, replacing an earlier nearby station with low-level platforms.[2]
Parking
