Stratford station is a commuter rail station on the Northeast Corridor in Stratford, Connecticut. It is served by the Metro-North Railroad New Haven Line plus limited CT Rail Shore Line East service. The station has two high-level side platforms, each four cars long, serving the four tracks of the Northeast Corridor. The station has 294 parking spaces, which are all owned by the state.
The station opened on December 25, 1848. The first station building was constructed in 1849. A new station was built between 1853 and 1880; the older structure became a freight house and is no longer extant. The station building was moved east around 1894 when the line was quadruple-tracked, and a second building was added on the north (westbound) side. The buildings closed to passengers in 1973; the National Helicopter Museum opened in the eastbound (south) station building in 1983.
