Schedule changes coming soon to new Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Fall River/New Bedford Line

Changes are coming to the local train schedule

According to Massachusetts State Rep. Carole Fiola, the MBTA and Keolis Commuter Services (Keolis) will implement minor schedule adjustments on the new Fall River/New Bedford Line. The updated schedules will take effect on July 21 for the Fall River/New Bedford.

On the Fall River/New Bedford Line, midday and evening trains will no longer stop at JFK/UMass, which will improve travel times for passengers. JFK/UMass passengers may take the Red Line to connect with Commuter Rail service at South Station or Braintree.

Two late-night shuttle trains, one from Fall River and one from New Bedford, will no longer operate in order to decrease the number of late-night train movements.

Finally, departure times will be adjusted throughout the day to improve resiliency.
