    Framingham Worcester Line in and out of Boston - Commuter Rail…read more Pros: Fairly large parking lot Can grab a cab Can pay $4.00 per day to park (up to about 19 hours) Two small over head canopy's for when it is raining on the inbound side Convenient Store a stone throw away to grab a coffee Subway 2 stones away to grab a sub Clean, salted and sanded in the winter Metro and other papers to grab and read Two bins for dropping off clothes/shoes Bike Rack Safe and people are typically business and regulars (different from riding the T) Express Trains are good Put in for your free ticket to ride or turn it into the office get money back with the letter that came with it(don't throw it out) when your train is delayed over 30 mins. Easy to do on line - ticket comes in the mail. You can buy a ticket on the train. Free WiFi Bathrooms Cons: If you take the later train there are not many or NO parking spots left Late meaning close to 7:30-8 am Still need to pay on the weekend If you don't pay you they tack on an additional $1 There is a race out to rte 135 which can be hard to get onto. Two small over head canopy's don't cover all the people and are not very big Adults cut the lines too to try to get into the train before people - Annoying! Express Trains can be fuller The MBTA LED boards have info posted but the info is only as good if they post the correct stuff. One train is late then there is a domino effect and they are either all late or even canceled. Would be great if they built a garage The tickets you buy on the train have an extra fee so buy them at the station ahead Tips: -Careful to not miss your stop there may not be another train back -Bring ear plugs, music, etc if you don't want to listen to crying kids or people on their cell phones. -People eat on the train so there are all kinds of smells in the air like McD's Happy Trails

    Super convenient station! All the trains on the Framingham/Worcester line, fast and slow, stop here.read more

    I've been traveling out here at least one time a week on the commuter rail & the overall experience…read moreis good but these type of stations show how far they still have to go. This station is not equipped with any ramps or elevators for the handicap, the elderly or the commuters with bicycles is just unacceptable in this day & age. Even the stairs are quite old, rusty & narrow. Recently I experienced that on the outbound side there is no shelter from the elements except for a bridge. I just expect more from modern public transportation & standing here makes me feel like I traveled back into time. At least there are good local business, a library, a cozy common & a local commuter shuttle nearby. There are promises of improvements but they can not come fast enough. More people would use these facilities if they could just access them.

    I've had no problems. You just need to be aware that at certain times they switch the…read moreoutbound/inbound sides; There are signs posted about it with more details. The metal staircases leading down to the tracks are very rusted out with huge holes here and there; Please be very vigilant about this as the stairs are very steep as well. At street level, there is a cab stand and local bus stop that accepts the Charlie Card (MWRTA.) Natick Cab station is about a 3 minute walk to the north (right next door to Pizza Plus,) and to the south is the downtown area with many amenities. Huge drawbacks are that there is very little to no car/bicycle parking and no handicap entry. There is much better (paid) parking at West Natick and the platform is at street level with ramps.

    I love the MBTA! I enjoy taking public transportation to get me to work, explore new places, see…read morefriends etc... and I have taken the commuter rail starting from this origin station countless of times. Unfortunately, this is not my favorite station and I will explain why. While this station is located conveniently in the heart of Wellesley, navigating through the station itself can get very confusing. First and foremost, the two platforms can be hard to get to, and it's very hard to tell where you should be. There is a fence in the middle that prevents you from crossing the track, meaning you have to go up the massive flight of stairs and cross the overhead bridge to get to the other platform. This is not handicap accessible by any means, and means that if you mess up which train you need to be at, you're essentially cooked. Additionally, there is an inbound/outbound platform on each side, but the train often switches tracks without proper notification, so it's hard to tell where to be. For instance, in the morning I'll want to go to Worcester and will go on the outbound platform. However, in the evening I'll want South Station, and this train going inbound will arrive on the outbound platform. Everyone is confused and the signs just say "Track 1" or "Track 2". The track 2 sign is posted on the bridge, but on the side of the inbound platform, so it's hard to tell which track is which - I still couldn't tell you. Additionally, I've sometimes noticed that in the mornings there are bats that resunder this bridge, so it's pretty uncomfortable having to walk to the platform under the bridge.

    Close to the center of Wellesley, Wellesley Square is a below grade station. There are two…read more medium-sized parking lots, one on each side of the tracks for a total of 224 spaces. A small glass booth exists as a waiting area for inbound. I did not see one for outbound trains. The station does have some handicapped accessibility but the website mentions "significant accessibility barriers." I did not see any wheelchair ramps for getting onto or off the trains. Located on the Framingham/Worcester line, Wellesley Square is between Natick Center (outbound) and Wellesley Hills (inbound). It is in Zone 3. Inbound and outbound, there are a total of 20 stops here during a single day. [Review 10132 overall, 1718 of 2018.]

    Amtrak recommends arriving 30 minutes before your scheduled train and it was my first time using…read moreAmtrak, and my first time to Route 128 Station. Exit the highway, drive past the parking garage and turn left onto Blue Hill Drive, and take the left on in where it says "Amtrak/MBTA Pick-up & Drop off". Either entrance at the end will work. While the left side is more direct and closer to the Amtrak counter, the right side will take you past the Dunkin Donuts. There's a waiting area, the bathrooms are by the elevator, and only two tracks. 1 is outbound, and 2 heads into Boston. Simple. Start heading out when they announce that your train is arriving, about 8 min in advance. Head towards the right if you are Coach bound. Take a seat and the conductor will scan your ticket code and tuck a paper ticket above you. Take it with you if you change seats. If you go past NYC, the crew changes, and every passenger gets scanned again. If you are ADA and need access to one of their accessible seats, there's a way to mention it when buying your ticket, so the conductor will save you a seat in advance. Two bathrooms are available at one end of the Coach car. If the light is on, the bathroom is taken and the door locked. These are roomier than those on airplanes. So are the seats, although they otherwise resemble those found in planes with the tables that fold down and seats that recline back. 120 volt plugs are available, but no screens and no headset jacks, so no music. Stops are announced, so it felt that communication was pretty good on the train and at the station. Coming back and arriving on track 2, we had to exit and head up and over the tracks, where we could go straight into the garage, or take the escalator down by Dunkin Donuts. There's an elevator as well, which will take you to the bathrooms.

    Clean and large for a two track station. Commuter Rail MBTA as well as Amtrak…read more Two convenience centers, one up stairs which has a large selection of stuff and the Dunkies Downstairs... typical. The parking lot is huge and quite affordable at $15.00 a day. There are also cans downstairs and an area for buses. Truthfully, better than going into South Station for the train.
