Train Service to Run From Boston to Cape Cod
"Visitors can expect a train leaving South Station on Friday nights and round-trip trains leaving Saturday and Sunday mornings and returning at the end of each day," according to the website for the new CapeFlyer service.
Memorial Day weekend will see the return of Boston-Cape Cod rail service after more than 20 years, according to an announcement from the Steamship Authority.
The new CapeFlyer train, an extension of the MBTA, will make a stop at Buzzards Bay, where Martha's Vineyard-bound passengers can board a connecting bus to Woods Hole.
The final stop is downtown Hyannis, where Nantucket-bound passengers can catch their boats.
