CatnipOligarchy Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'm going to Fenway Park next month. last time i went we parked, and it was awful. we've decided to take the train this time. we'll be coming into boston on i-95 north, from foxboro. My question is, is there somewhere along I-95 that we can pick up the train? i've spent a lot of time on the MBTA official site. i found out how to get to the park once i get on the train, i just need to know where the best place to catch it is. I know theres a few people from the boston area in here, so any help would be appreciated.

topher1078 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Coming from Foxboro, you should be able to get the 128 stop - right along the highway and there are many trains running through that station, so the times are more frequent. There is also a commuter rail in Foxboro itself, but I'm not sure where it is. You can also get off at Ruggles - they run free shuttles to Fenway. EDIT - I'm wrong, sorry, coming from Foxboro on 95 you'll merge with 128 too late and miss the 128 Commuter rail stop. The Attleboro one should work.

IF he were to drive that far i don't think an extra exit would be a big deal.

topher1078 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 That's true. Basically, there are a ton of commuter rail stops along the way you are traveling, and if any of them travel to Back Bay or Ruggles you will be in perfect shape. Enjoy Fenway.

topher1078 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Just make sure you buy the train tickets at the station instead of on the train, depending on the conductor, they can lay a few dollar surcharge on you - and you want that money for delicious Fenway franks.
