Wells Regional Transportation Center is an Amtrak train station in Wells, Maine. The station sits next to the Pan Am Railways mainline, formerly the Western Route mainline of the Boston and Maine Railroad.
In 1993, the town of Wells voted to build a transportation center for intercity buses and then-planned Amtrak service.[1] service began on December 15, 2001, with only a platform at Wells. The station building was constructed in 2002 and opened in 2003.
The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNERPA) is adding a 6miles second track through Wells to allow an additional daily Brunswick-Wells round trip. The project will also add a second platform and a footbridge to the Wells station. The plan was issued in 2019; In February 2020, NNERPA was awarded a $16.9 million federal grant for the project.[2]
