Melrose Highlands station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Melrose, Massachusetts. It serves the Haverhill/Reading Line, and is located north of Franklin Street in the Melrose Highlands business district. It is the most used station in the city, and was originally planned to be a station on the cancelled extension of the Orange Line to Reading. The station is fully handicapped accessible; mini-high platforms on the north end of each platform opened in January 2006.
The station is served directly by one MBTA Bus route which runs on Franklin Street:
Three additional routes - the 106, 136, and 137 - run 2,000 feet (610 m) to the east on Main Street..
