Starting in May 2016, one train will depart from Worcester’s Union Station at 7:55 a.m. and arrive at Back Bay Station in under an hour.
The MBTA said they also plan to add two more zone express trains in both directions daily.
Trains on the Framingham/Worcester line can stop up to 16 times en route to South Station, the MBTA notes. This should take about a half hour off the commute.
The Worcester/Framingham Line schedule will consist of 11 Boston-bound trains in the morning during the peak weekday commuting window. Of that total, seven trains will originate in Worcester’s Union Station, with one train making all local stops on the line; five trains running zone express; and one train running non-stop to Back Bay Station. The current schedule only includes three zone express trains within that window.
In the evening hours, the new schedule will include nine trains leaving South Station with six ending at Union Station. Of those six, five will be zone express, and one will run non-stop from Back Bay Station. Three additional trains leaving South Station will end in Framingham.”
