This station is known as Westwood – Route 128. This station named as Route 128 is because it is near the highway near its southern terminus. Interstate 95 leaves the beltway, U.S. Highway 1 continues straight and Interstate 93 begins at Canton.

Convenient alternative to driving to Boston
Amtrak and Providence MBTA lines both come through to South Station. 128 is clean, has decent parking for $7.00 during the day.

Poorly maintained. Could be so much better.

Pricing. The pricing is $7/ first 14 hours and $14/each day thereafter. Not cheap or $4/day like similar stations in the area.

Condition. Not old at all but cracking in multiple locations. On a rainy or snowy day water seeps through the parking structure ceilings. Enjoy dodging the water. In the winter that water leaves ice patches inside the dark parking structure. Walk carefully. You also could see a little crumbled concrete on the top of your car when you leave. The platform escalators currently work. One escalator was out for more than a year. That brings a lot of foot traffic to narrow (for rush hour standards) concrete sets of steep stairs on each platform. Ever sat in line trying to drive out of the structure? That thing you are feeling is your car is bouncing up and down as cars move on the ramp. Not comforting.

Cleanliness. The bathrooms are checked and interior waiting area is ok. The trash containers (especially walking from the structure to the the 2nd floor waiting area) are not full but overflowing with trash. Trash in outer areas of the parking structure are not cleaned at all. Ex: A DD iced tea cup sat on the back stairs for more than three months as its lemon disintegrated.

Oversight. Cars can pay for parking with EZPass. Nice idea. The trouble is that a LAZ employee now has to hang out at the gates every afternoon/evening because invariably there will be cars that cannot leave (transponder not working, account low, confused driver, bent paper card, etc.). The LAZ employee and driver then talk about the matter for a while and complete paperwork as other drivers beep. It causes additional 10-minute traffic jams just to exit the structure. The Transit Police provide no oversight. Some drivers speed in that little parking structure. Watch out when you walk. Some drivers just park in the middle of the aisles, blocking walking access into the station or your ability to drive out of the structure. There are spaces, but those drivers know that there is no enforcement so it is easier to make a space in the center of an aisle instead of parking a little further away.

All in all - the station was a nice idea. Some architect or MBTA official is very proud. It's too bad that the station apparently has no oversight.

This good alternative to the two Boston Amtrak stations but on the bad side you have to drive from north of the city to park your car but it $4.00 for commuter rail but $10.00 a day for Amtrak this will take payment by ma fast lane but MA only.

Dropped my mom off to take the NE Corridor line to DC and the service was above and beyond! The on shift attendant took the time to explain the route and other night-service procedures in detail which put my mom at ease. The station was a little dirty, but that's to be expected at a busy station/MBTA stop. The cars have full WiFi and bathrooms. I'll be taking Amtrak on my next trip on the East coast!
