Springfield Union Station is a train and bus station in the Metro Center area of Springfield, Massachusetts. Constructed in 1926, Springfield Union Station is the fifth busiest Amtrak station in the Commonwealth.A large-scale $94 million renovation project restored the former station building, and it reopened in late June 2017 as a regional intermodal transit hub not only featuring Amtrak service, but serving as the new hub for the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA) bus system in the area, along with the planned hub for Peter Pan Bus Lines, Greyhound service and the planned new Hartford Line. Presently as of September 2017, PVTA as well as intercity bus service have moved in and are operating out of the station. Amtrak's present facility at Union Station is located within a building located along the tracks upon the viaduct situated along Lyman Street to the south. The rail station is slated to move into the Union Station main hall upon the completion of a new elevated boarding platform and elevators and stairs to the platform which is targeted for the first quarter of 2018.HistorySpringfield's grand Union Station was constructed in 1926 by the Boston & Albany Railroad to replace a smaller Union Station, which had been adorned in unique Egyptian-style architecture. The station was built for $5.87 million. The station opened to the public on December 18, 1926.
