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.

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.

I think this pilot program has real potiential. I hope the MBTA tweaks the service, so that it's…read moremore convenient for Boston commuters. Pros: -Accessible. -Easy access to platform. -Good location, clear signage. -Loads of parking. -Plenty of open seats. Cons: -The only early moring train is SLOW (1 hour, 5 minutes). Add an express route and more people will come. -The only inbound Boston stop is South Station. This program was promoted to riders on the Providence Line (Mansfield & Sharon), and the MAJORITY of those riders get off the train at Ruggles and Back Bay. Going to South Station means all of those customers have to back track 20 minutes to get to work. Slow train + extra time on the T to get back to work means less riders.

First news, the parking for this is FREE (until at least March of 2020), that is a necessity…read morebecause the service itself is so bad. First, the actual trip into South Station takes way too long. 1 hour and ten minutes if the train is on time. No trip into Boston should ever take more than 45 minutes. Then, don't dare miss your train (and the train is always departing EXACTLY on time) because if you do, the next train is an hour or more away. In some situations it could be 3 hours later. If they don't do something about making at least ONE express during rush hour I don't think I am going to be able to take the train from here any longer. Norwood Depot is 2 dollars per day parking with about a 35 minute trip into Boston and I have many more train options to get there and back - even with driving I will be home sooner. I agree this service has serious potential. Imagine if they could build some apartments around some of the patriot place lands? The track also connects with the providence line so there would be service to Boston and Providence. But at the moment the MBTA seems to be trying to kill this line.

There is a trash can on the inbound/Boston side, but no trash can on the outbound side. If it's your first time here, give yourself some extra time so you don't end up on the wrong side. Right now the staircase is closed. So if you are on the wrong side of the track, it will take you an extra 5 mins to get on the bridge overpass to get to the right platform. Be careful when you get on and get off the train, the platform/train is tilted so watch your step as always.

The majority if not all of the parking is reserved for Sharon residents. The town runs the lots which means the police write the tickets.

Great to see the recovery the commuter rail has a whole has made post-COVID. I'd recommend the MBTA build a small and inexpensive platform so the Foxboro trains could stop at this station too, as they go right through here at 10MPH on a secondary track.

There is some parking off of Rte 27 near the underpass under the tracks. The local cops and businesses will tow you if you try to park in a non-commuter rail parking lot. If the the station is open, get your tickets there from the coffee shop inside to avoid a surcharge on the train. Their machine is unreliable sometimes however. Would have more stars if it was open later and had a bit more parking.

It is also a flat surface so you don't have to walk up and down stairs or down a hill or cross a busy road to get to your parking. Unlike Walpole or Norfolk. Also, on the off chance it is full when you get there -- sometimes on snow days it gets full because people don't park in the lines -- Norwood Depot is just down the street and that never gets full.
