Commuter Rail Service Increases Coming
The state is taking over the rail lines between Boston and Worcester next month.
The Commuter Rail's Needham Line will continue to operate through the upcoming holiday weekend, as plans to eliminate weekend service have been postponed until July 7.

The 45 miles of rails between Boston and Worcester will be managed by the state starting next month, according to the telegram.com.
This means more service between the two cities as well as bridge work that will allow for double-decker trains to service a longer area.
According to the telegram.com, Lt. Gov. Timothy P. Murray said he expects transportation officials to announce service increases of 13.5 trips per day to 20 within the next year.

sorry to inconvenience you Rick. God forbid that the many folks who need transportation from Worcester and many other communities out this way, have more flexible access to jobs to support their families.

Great to see improvement in service. Long time coming. For those who didn't see it I did a photo blog here on trains through Westborough. Enjoy. Now if they could only provide a decent station....
