Route 128 Station, located at Exit 13 off Interstate 95 / US 1 (known locally as Route 128 ), in Westwood, Massachusetts , a suburb of Boston . A new, completely rebuilt station opened in 2000 . Its facilities include:
Notably, no MBTA bus routes stop at the station. It is mainly intended as a highway-to-rail Park And Ride facility. 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 ). Fast Lane transponders are accepted for payment. Blue Hill Drive/Green Lodge Street, the original alignment of the Circumferential Highway ( Route 128 ), used to pass over the railroad where the platforms now are. With the building of the new alignment of 128, the old road was little-traveled, and the bridge was removed. The Abutments are still visible on each side. The top floor of the garage is closed, pending future improvements to highway access, as part of a traffic mitigation agreement with the local community. ATTRACTIONS
