Parkville (known as Park Street during early planning) is a bus rapid transit station on the CTfastrak line, located near the intersection of Park Street and Francis Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. It opened with the line on March 28, 2015. [1] The station consists of two side platforms serving the busway, with two center passing lanes to allow express buses to pass buses stopped at the station. [2]
The New York and New England Railroad (and predecessor Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad) served a station approximately at the modern location. [3] It opened around 1871, with a wooden depot built the next year. [4] It may have been served until the end of passenger service between Hartford and New Britain in 1959. [3] Trains using the parallel Springfield Line, originally built by the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, did not stop at Parkville.
