Easy access to Copley and, obviously, the Back Bay if you’re coming from NYC.

Yikes, no AC in the summer! Also, unlike South Station, Amtrak isn't actually staffed... So you have to rely on reticent-to-help mbta employees if you have questions...

Easy to get to. Great employees! Trains are almost always on time and the people who ride are very respectful. It's a great alternative to flying around the Northeast. Plus, you can't beat the views!

Beware of the junkie with a sob story about needing money to catch a train to rehab. He loafs between here and South Station with the same racket.

This place takes the cake for being the ugliest MBTA commuter station in Boston. Also, about the bathrooms here... I'd avoid those.

The Worcester Commuter train always arrives on tracks 5 or 7, and there's secret entrance/exit on Dartmouth across the street from the main station building!

Orange Line is good to get from Back Bay to N. Station during the day. At night it gets sketchy. Take a cab.

Either ask the conducter if you're on the right train OR join a free game of MBTA roulette! The station is disorganized, switches tracks at the last minute & only announces about half the trains!

The burritos at the ChaChaCha burrito cart are awesome. The sometimes-long line at noon is testament to that. The marinated pork is especially savory.

Use the Clarendon St exit at the end of the platform if you're headed toward the East side of the street anyway. It's easier than using the main exit and having to cross the street during rush hour.
