A pretty nice station overall, with bathrooms and a Tasty Burger right next to it, it’s just the commuter rail area always seems dark and damp

Small dog poop around the floor. Got excellent help at the information window. The black associate was very nice and helped me read my train ticket then directly to my track.

Dated and dirty. Super cold if you’re waiting in the terminal since it’s in the open. No heat.

I mean, it certainly has a particularly charm…like old London before germ theory was established. That being said, it does serve as a hub for several train lines including Amtrak; nice to not have to go all the way to South Station every time.

No, it's really more of a sub-station in my opinion. South Station is very close by and so much better, in my opinion anyway.

You won't find a motel in the city. You could take the subway or commuter rail out of the city for a motel. There are hotels close to Back Bay, but probably more expensive.

Where at Back Bay station do I get the Acela Express toPenn Station, New York?

Melissa Miller | Aug 24, 2018
Gabriel Abbott | Aug 24, 2018

Besides taking the speedy acela towards washington district of columbia, you can also get there Northeast Regional to Newport News or Virginia beach on tracks 1 and 3 which are the same exact platforms for the providence, needham and Franklin commuter rail lines. Make sure you don't go to track 2 as that will take you towards south station, tracks 5 and 7 which are for the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago as well as the commuter rail trains heading to Worcester or Framingham make sure you don't take the orange line or any of the buses. Enjoy your trip
