Downeaster Detours: Your Ticket to the Best Stops Beyond the Platform

What are your plans when you get off the train? What if we told you we had your ticket to the best stops beyond the platform, designed just for you? 

Beginning this month, we're excited to announce: Downeaster Detours. A place to shine the spotlight on local partners in our station communities, all with something unique to offer our passengers. Whether it be a custom discount, freebie, or a new experience we know our passengers would love to discover. Our mission is to make you say: "This stop was worth the Detour" - Let's go!

Your first stop once you leave the Train Station platform has to be one of the tastiest two-for-one partnerships we've ever cooked up. What The Actual Fudge! and Crepe Elizabeth, located just steps from the platform, have a very special surprise for our passengers throughout February and March. 

Beginning February 1st, 2026, when you stop in during business hours and show the staff at WTAF (2nd floor) your Downeaster ticket, you get a FREE box of fudge!

Then, before you head out, stop in at Crepe Elizabeth (1st floor) and enjoy a complimentary hot chocolate with your purchase of one of their delicious homemade crepe.

 

 

Shop for that special someone all month long, and support our local businesses in Maine!
