Lowell

The Fall/Winter schedule maintains the same frequent weekday service introduced in Spring 2021, with a few changes to train times in order to factor in slippery rail and snow.

Please note:
-Buses replace train service between Rockport and Beverly on weekends and weekdays through December 18th to allow for signal improvement work.
-There will be a temporary Fitchburg Line schedule to allow for track improvements. Several inbound trains will depart Wachusett 8 minutes later and passengers will experience up to 15 minute longer journey times until the work is complete in mid-November.

The following trains will no longer operate after Sunday, October 16th:
- Middleborough Train 003 (currently 5:25 am from South Station). The first outbound train between Boston and Middleborough will now be Train 005, scheduled to depart South Station at 7:25 am.
-Kingston Train 041 (currently 6:05 am from South Station). The first outbound train between Boston and Kingston will be Train 043, scheduled to depart South Station at 8:25 am.
-Kingston Train 1041/2041 (currently 6:20 am from South Station). On weekends, the first train departing Boston for Kingston will now be Train 1043/2043 scheduled to leave South Station at 8:20 am.
No train time changes on the Needham and Fairmount Line.

Accessible fare gates are also available.
The new gates will eliminate platform-door ticket checks and offer a more consistent experience for passengers on all lines.
Passengers must keep their tickets. You will still have to show tickets to conductors on board trains to verify your zone. Passengers exiting at North Station without a valid fare will have to purchase one through the mTicket app or from a staff member in order to exit through the gates.
Staff will always be present at North Station when the gates are active.
