Westbrook (Shore Line East Station)
Westbrook is a passenger rail station along the Shore Line East commuter rail line, which runs on the Northeast Corridor between New Haven and New London. Westbrook station consists of a small parking lot and one side platform on the southbound side of the tracks. A new station with a larger lot and two platforms is under construction; it is scheduled to open in 2013. The larger lot will allow the station, which is less than half a mile from I-95 and US-1, to serve as a park-and-ride station.
Westbrook is a commuter-only station; Amtrak's Acela Express and Northeast Regional services run through the station without stopping. Westbrook is served by about 7-10 midday and peak-direction rush hour Shore Line East trains in each direction on weekdays and 5 in each direction on weekends.
