All day: how often trains run

Before North Station, trains stop at Chelsea (for the Silver Line SL3), which can save you a change. Check the timetable: not every train stops at every station.

If you miss the last train

After the last train there's no other public transit route to Boston that night. The first weekday train leaves Rockport at 5:06 am. If you might be late, ask Cobblehop for the last train before you sit down for dinner.

Tips

• Look for the inbound train. Trains to Boston are inbound, and the sign will say North Station.
• Leave a few minutes early. Commuter Rail trains can leave on time even when the platform is busy, and if you miss the last one there's no next train.
• Before you go out. Ask Cobblehop for "the last train from Rockport" and it tells you when to leave where you are, using live times.
• Rockport is the end of the line. Dock Square and Bearskin Neck are downhill from the station.

Step-free access

MBTA data lists every station on this route (Rockport and North Station) as accessible. North Station has 6 elevators in MBTA data. Elevators do break, so check the MBTA's elevator alerts before you go.

What it costs

• Commuter Rail. Rockport to North Station is a Zone 8 fare, $12.25 one way. On Saturdays and Sundays, a $10.00 weekend pass covers unlimited Commuter Rail rides.
