August 2022 - A great addition for commuters to the Metro North New Haven train line, this station located right next to the long published Waterbury newspaper's clock tower and business, Republican American, is also connected to Amtrak and its daily routes. Anytime we've used this stop it was on time, clean, easily accessed and there was always a parking space. There is not a way to buy tickets on the platform so it's best to purchase them online, though passengers can buy them underway from the conductor. A bus stop for the station is also available. Noting one person's negative comments when I clicked to review this, it's true that there is no cover from rain if you're without an umbrella.
I assumed the clock tower was the station, it is not. There is nowhere to keep warm, but an overhang to keep you dry.
For the terminus or beginning of a line which takes over two hours to travel, this station is underwhelming, with no bathroom, refreshments or any amenities besides an unheated, unenclosed shelter and sparse benches. Somehow marginally homeless people also ride the train here in sizable quantities, with all their possessions in multiple plastic bags stacked around them. The building next to the station has a distinctive clock tower, but otherwise looks abandoned.
Good service, when the train is not running They provide bus service. The almost always on time, here and there it might be late but in general they leave on time. I don't give it a five star simply because the bathroom in trains are not very clean at all.
First time riding this train… why im not surprise lol this station looks old and outdated . They need to put ticket machine there . Come on Waterbury I n is Waterbury is trash but come on now!
Once a great city is in need of much Masonry rehab work especially retaining wall structures in need of repair. Too bad there is not a community program to teach young adults the know how and ability to fix these gems ! Some masonry is truly a work of art!
My review of the Waterbury Train Station is as follows: This place is an absolute disaster. THERE IS NO TICKET MACHINE. The building is actually some newspaper press and you don't have where to go in. The platform itself was one covered sitting area that doesn't offer much protection from the elements. Although free, the parking lot is unpaved. The entire place isn't taken care of; it's a vital station for many residents and the least the city can do is to bring some level of comfort. We are not animals, and even then I wouldn't let an animal stay in that living hell. Absolutely dreadful. The trains are about (or at least) 30 years old, fashioned with very few charging outlets. There may also be an empty wallet scam happening on the Bridgeport - Waterbury route. Tread carefully.
Unlike those of other cities and towns, this train station platform lacks the basic amenities like a newspaper stand, coffee shops, publicly posted signs and directions.
Still, plenty of parking are available.
