Tips for this trip

Check the sign on the bus. Some the Silver Line SL1 trips from Terminal C - Arrivals Level end early or go another way (South Station) and don't reach South Station.
Inbound or outbound. Commuter Rail trains toward Boston are called inbound and trains leaving Boston are outbound. This trip is outbound: look for Wachusett on the departure board, and find the track number there a few minutes before the train leaves.
Changing at South Station. You don't leave the station. Follow the signs for Red Line toward Alewife.
Concord station is on Thoreau Street, southwest of Concord center and Monument Square.
