Bellingham Square and Chelsea are a pair of adjacent transit stations located near Bellingham Square slightly north of downtown Chelsea, Massachusetts. The Silver Line bus rapid transit service SL3 service, which began on April 21, 2018, includes a bus rapid transit stop called Bellingham Square. Chelsea station, opened in 1985, is an MBTA Commuter Rail station served by the Newburyport/Rockport Line. Unlike all other stations on the line, save limited-service River Works and Prides Crossing, Chelsea is not accessible. However, the stop is planned to be moved to a new accessible station in 2021.
After the opening of the Charlestown Bridge in 1901 and the East Boston Tunnel in 1904, Boston and Maine railroad stations in Everett and Chelsea lost ridership to slower but more frequent streetcar service. On April 18, 1958, the Boston and Maine Railroad received permission from the Public Utilities Commission to drastically curtail its suburban commuter service, including abandoning branches, closing stations, and cutting trains. Among the approved cuts was the closure of all Eastern Division service south of Lynn, including the entirety of the Saugus Branch, plus mainline stations at East Somerville, Everett, Chelsea, and Forbes. These areas were largely within the Metropolitan Transit Authority bus service area, acquired from the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway in 1936. The Saugus Branch and mainline stations were closed on May 16, 1958.
