The Stratford Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of Stratford, Connecticut via the New Haven Line. Although the station is usually served by express trains originating or terminating in New Haven, one peak-hour run of the Waterbury Branch stops each morning and evening, one peak-hour afternoon Shore Line East train, and the last Waterbury train of the day originates here.

Stratford is 59 miles from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time from Grand Central is one hour, 27 minutes though this varies depending on run and time of day.

The station has 294 parking spaces, all owned by the state.[1]
