Location

Bernardsville is a New Jersey Transit station in Bernardsville, Somerset County, New Jersey along the Gladstone Branch of the Morris & Essex Lines, in the United States.

Bernardsville station opened on January 29, 1872, with the first New Jersey West Line Railroad train leaving Bernardsville for Summit station.^[2]

The station building, located on the north side of the tracks, is of stone-masonry construction. It was designed by architect Bradford L. Gilbert. There is a convenience store/deli inside the station building with a large high-ceilinged seating area that was formerly a bank branch. A public restroom and ticket vending machine are available. In 1984 the building was added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places^[8] as part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource.

Permitted parking is available at a cost of $377 per year. There are a limited number of hourly parking spots, as well as designated spots that allow free short-term parking after 10 a.m. A statue of the late Representative Millicent Fenwick stands near the pedestrian entrance to the station parking lot.

The station's one low-level side platform has a walkway across the main track, allowing passengers to reach the outer track.
