The Merritt 7 Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of Norwalk, Connecticut via the Danbury Branch of the New Haven Line. Merritt 7 is named for a nearby business park based at the intersection of the Merritt Parkway and United States Route 7. The station is the only regular stop in the Metro-North system outside of the Waterbury Branch, the Pascack Valley Line, and the Port Jervis Line to have a low-level platform.

The Merritt-7 Office Complex built the station while separating the station from building entrances by a fence to make the complex transit adjacent but not transit-oriented.[2]

Merritt 7 is 45 miles (72 km) from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time from Grand Central is 74 minutes. The station opened on July 29, 1985 by Metro-North.[1]

The station has 88 parking spaces, all owned by the state.[3]
