NEW LONDON (AMTRAK STATION)

'New London' is a regional rail station located in New London, Connecticut. It is served by both Amtrak and the Connecticut Department of Transportation's Shore Line East. Located on the Northeast Corridor, the busiest railway in the United States, New London station sees more rail service than either of the stations that border it: Old Saybrook and Mystic. Both of Amtrak's train routes that operate on the portion of the Northeast Corridor north of New Haven — the ''Regional'' and ''Acela Express'' — stop at New London station. Along with this service, Shore Line East operates limited service to New London,^[1] making it the eastern terminus of the commuter rail service in Connecticut.^[2]
New London features a similar layout to its preceding station when travelling toward Boston, Old Saybrook. There is one island platform and a side platform,^[3] both of which are high level not only to allow handicapped accessibility but also because the Acela Express requires high platforms in order to serve a station.
