Malden Center Station is an MBTA station on the Orange Line and Commuter Rail, located on Pleasant Street in downtown Malden, Massachusetts. It is an elevated station serving Malden's Edgeworth and downtown areas, with a small parking lot and connections to several bus lines. Boarding an outbound train here only will take you one stop to Oak Grove, while inbound trains take riders through Boston via North Station and Downtown Crossing. Transfer to MBTA Commuter Rail is possible from a platform that is parallel to the orange line island platform. In 2004, the station added a second exit stairwell and its first and only elevator, making the station handicap accessible.
