How early should I get to the train station on memorial day weekend?|114763

I_m in boston, and I have taken the train in 10 years? How early should I get there?

For Amtrak get there an hour and a half early. 30-45min is cutting it wicked close. It is Memorial Day weekend and a lot of people travel that weekend, which means longer lines at the Ticket pickup and purchase center.

If you_re taking Amtrak, you shouldn_t have to get there more than, say, 30-45 minutes prior. That should be enough time for ticketing and check-in.

For the purple line (commuter rail), you could buy your ticket on board.

Not sure which train you are talking about, but you can find all the schedules for Boston_s public transportation system (the T) at www.mbta.com
