Officials said the temporary service changes are needed to accommodate track and infrastructure work along the corridor.

Passengers traveling to and from Worcester Union Station will instead board shuttle buses at Grafton Station during the affected weekends. Riders should expect longer travel times and are encouraged to plan ahead.

Regular commuter rail service will continue operating between South Station and Grafton during the construction periods.

You can find the full shuttle bus schedule here.

The MBTA recommends riders check schedules and service alerts before traveling. More information is available on the MBTA website and through the MBTA Commuter Rail app.
