Winchester Center Station Accessibility Improvements | Projects

Winchester Center Station—which hasn’t had a major update since the 1950s—is in various states of disrepair and does not meet current accessibility standards. We will give it a complete renovation that will include structural repairs to improve safety, accessibility, and station capacity.

Project Features

To bring Winchester Center Station up to date and make it accessible, we will install new high-level platforms that allow for easy boarding. The platforms will also accommodate longer, 9-car trains, which will increase station capacity. Additional updates include:

Reconstructing access ramps and adding new elevators for better accessibility
Upgrading canopies, signs, railings, and lighting for safety and security
Adding benches, bike racks, a public address system, and other amenities for comfort and convenience
Updating walkways, sidewalks, and parking lot areas
