Times are when to leave Park Street. From South Station or North Station you can usually leave a few minutes later. A few stations have no trains after 8 pm on weeknights, so they aren't in these tables: South Attleboro (last train leaves South Station at 5:37 pm), Silver Hill (7:30 pm from North Station), and TF Green Airport and Wickford Junction in Rhode Island (5:37 pm). Check their schedules if you're heading there.

How we counted

For each Commuter Rail station, we asked the Cobblehop trip planner for every way to get there from Park Street between 8 pm and 2 am, on the MBTA's fall 2026 schedule, for two separate weeks (November 10, 14 and 15, and November 17, 21 and 22, 2026), and kept the latest one that uses only MBTA trains, subway and buses with no more than a mile of walking. When the two weeks differed, we show the regular schedule, because planned track work moves some weekends earlier. Planned work, holidays and event service change these times, so check the night you go.

Last ride home: common questions

What is the last train from Boston on a weeknight?

It depends on the line. Leaving Park Street, most Commuter Rail towns can still be reached if you leave between about 11 pm and midnight on weeknights. The earliest Massachusetts town is Foxboro, at 9:24 pm. A few stations have no trains after 8 pm on weeknights: South Attleboro (last train leaves South Station at 5:37 pm), Silver Hill (7:30 pm from North Station), and TF Green Airport and Wickford Junction in Rhode Island (5:37 pm).

Which towns have the earliest last ride on weekends?

Fall River and Freetown, where you need to leave Park Street by 9:57 pm on Saturday and Sunday nights, and the Needham Line stations, by about 10:05 pm.

Do the times include the subway ride to the train?

Yes. Each time is when to leave Park Street, and includes the subway ride or walk to North Station, South Station or another connection.

What if I miss the last ride?

Ask Cobblehop. It tells you when nothing is running and shows the next option, including a late bus or the first train in the morning.
