Route 128 Station, located at Exit 13 off Interstate 95 (known locally as Route 128), in Westwood, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. A new, completely rebuilt station opened in 2000. Its facilities include:

• a stop on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor service to New York City and Washington, D.C., including the Acela high speed trains.
• a stop on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Attleboro/Providence commuter rail line, with inbound service to Back Bay and South Station in Boston.
• a multi-level parking garage
• bicycle parking
• staffed ticket windows
• a small concession and vending area
• well lit, enclosed waiting areas
• restrooms
• direct phone lines to nearby car rental companies

There are separate automobile entrances and levels for Amtrak (overnight) and commuter rail (day only) parking. The former is more expensive ($15 per day vs. $5 per day as of 2004). FastLane transponders are accepted for payment.

Attractions

• Only selected MBTA commuter rail stations have wheelchair access and most of those have short elevated platforms that only serve one or two cars. See MBTA accessibility.
