The MBTA will reshape its commuter rail schedule this spring, trimming the morning and evening peaks and reallocating trains to run on more even intervals during the day, officials said Monday.
They unveiled plans to smooth out service on the 12 commuter rail lines in an attempt to support new travel patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Currently, the earliest train leave from Westborough station at 7:17 a.m.,and from Southborough at 7:25 a.m., headed toward South Station in Boston. Commuters can get back from Boston to Southborough as late as 11:41 p.m. and Westborough at 1:49 p.m. on weekdays. And, of course, the two stations are only stop (Grafton) from Worcester heading west. (For a complete schedule, see https://tinyurl.com/yr7hdxbee.)
