Amtrak is excited to announce renovations at the\u00a0Durham Station<\/a>\u00a0are now complete. The $1.5 million project to improve the station is part of the ongoing and companywide commitment at Amtrak to ensure a safe, efficient, and comfortable travel experience for customers.<\/p>\n

The Amtrak\u00a0Carolinian<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Piedmont<\/em><\/a>\u00a0provide daily service to the station at 601 W. Main Street. The services are sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Transportation and operated by Amtrak and paid for through state funding and passenger fares. The trains operate between Raleigh and Charlotte, with the\u00a0Carolinian\u00a0<\/em>continuing service to New York.<\/p>\n

The renovation project included the installation of new doors and an automatic system for customers to enter and exit the station, and upgrades to the men\u2019s and women\u2019s restrooms. A new fire alarm system and signs were installed. A cane detection rail, a horizontal bar, was installed at the bottom of the ticket counter. The bar is detectable by a person who uses a cane, and it will alert them the counter is within their path.<\/p>\n

Customers will access new accessible pathways extending from the parking lot to the station and platform, and accessible parking spaces. The station features new signs along the platform, parking lot and customer drop off area.<\/p>\n
