Station layout
This station has one low-level side platform to the east of the track. The station is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT), but Metro-North is responsible for maintaining platform lighting, trash, and snow removal.[1] There is a parking lot with 50 parking spaces managed by the city of Ansonia.[1][3]
In 2018, ConnDOT awarded a grant of $389,000 to the city of Ansonia for safety and beautification improvements to the station including improved lighting, sidewalks, and accessibility.[5]

In November 2021, Governor Lamont announced at Ansonia station that both Derby and Ansonia stations would be equipped with high platforms and other improvements.[6] As of 2024[update], the state plans to add an accessible high-level platform at the station, with construction to take place from 2025 to 2027.[7]
