Decent place to wait for a train. Not many amenities beyond 9pm but at that point they don't need people misusing the shelter.

Its 615 AM on 3/31/2022. This station is a joke enforcing Federal Covid Mask rules. Over 60 percent of the people not wearing masks and nothing being said to anyone by staff. I too would like to leave my mask at home but respect the laws and others to wear it.

A great place overall. I like this one because they dont have numbered parking so assuming the PayByPhone app actually works, you wont get a ticket for parking in the wrong spot. The bathrooms are clean and there's a dunkin donuts here for breakfast. HOWEVER the staff are absolutely helpless and love to shrug their shoulders. The station is also infested with mosquitoes during the summer months. They even get into the bathrooms and one morning I saw DOZENS of them clinged to the walls. Bring bug spray!

taxi available here or some other way to get to Abington Mass?

jerry keay | Aug 26, 2019
David Hand | Aug 26, 2019

There are taxis there mostly around rush hours, less of them on off hours when some of the Amtrak trains come in. Might be best to Google cab companies for Westwood or Norwood and contact the companies themselves to ask about getting to Abington. Not sure if they all would go that far or if it would be super expensive. You may want to look into taking the train all the way into Boston South Station and then take the Kingston/Plymouth MBTA train line to Abington. Will be much cheaper than a cab but won't work if you're coming in late at night.

Back Bay and South Station. It is pretty often. At some times it is around every hour. The trip from South Station is between 30 and 50 minutes. There is Acela and regional trains. So cost varies. Lowest is around $15 i think for seniors.
