 After a three-year period with no rail service, the current station opened on December 17, 1979 when the MBTA funded a return of several daily round trips.The other stations on the northern section of the Haverhill Line were modified for accessibility in the early 1990s; however, MBTA and town officials could not agree on the details of the Haverhill reconstruction.The MBTA opened bidding on the Haverhill station project - which included accessible mini-high platforms and a 160-space parking lot - in June 1998.
