In 1993, the town of Wells voted to build a transportation center for intercity buses and then-planned Amtrak service.[2]Downeaster service began on December 15, 2001, with only a platform at Wells. The station building was constructed in 2002 and opened in 2003.[2]
The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNERPA) is adding a 6-mile (9.7 km) second track through Wells to allow an additional daily Brunswick-Wells round trip. The project will also add a second platform and a footbridge to the Wells station. The plan was issued in 2019; In February 2020, NNERPA was awarded a $16.9 million federal grant for the project.[3]
