New Trains Added to Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail

As a result of the recent agreement between the state and CSX, the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail (MBCR) has added six new train times to the Framingham/Worcester weekday commuter rail schedule. 

According to a press release issued yesterday by the MBCR, three new outbound trains will be added as well as three new inbound trains. The new schedule will go into effect Monday, Oct. 29.

Two of the three new inbound trains will not stop at the Newton stations, which include Auburndale, West Newton and Newtonville. 

The new train times were only added to the regular, weekday schedule; there will be no changes to the current weekend service.

In addition to the six new trains this month, there will also be one inbound special express and one outbound special express added next spring. The goal of 20 roundtrips will be hit a year from now, according to Lt. Governor Tim Murray's office.
