In 2007, the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization released a report evaluating the possibility of commuter rail service to Buzzards Bay including an intermediate stop at Wareham.

CapeFLYER summer weekend service between South Station and Hyannis began in 2013, though the stop at Wareham was not used to save travel time and because it was not handicapped accessible.

The 400-foot high-level boarding platform was built northwest of the 1985-built station in order to prevent riders from using up valuable downtown parking spots.

[11] The new platform, located across from Sawyer Street, was approved by the town's Conservation Commission that month and began construction in April.

[13] The $500,000 project is funded by as part of a state bond bill; a separate effort by the town and GATRA will modify the parking lot with a bus loop.

[14] The Buzzards Bay town selectmen similarly supported the idea later that year, and a public forum was held in January 2014.
