Wellston station is a light rail station on the Red Line of the St. Louis MetroLink system.[4] This at-grade station primarily serves commuters featuring 243 park and ride spaces. The station gets its name from the inner-ring suburb of Wellston, Missouri where it is located.
In 2023, Great Rivers Greenway completed a .53-mile (about .85 km) extension to the St. Vincent Greenway between Trojan Park and Robert L. Powell Place. The greenway parallels Stephen Jones Avenue and then Plymouth Avenue where it connects with this station.[5]
