BOSTON – The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority will restore weekend commuter rail service on three lines beginning this winter. The Kingston/Plymouth and Greenbush lines will see the return of Saturday and Sunday service and the Needham Line will resume Saturday service after a two-year absence on Dec. 27.
Facing a deficit for the fiscal 2013 budget, weekend service on the three lines was eliminated in 2012. The restoration of service on the lines was made possible by the inclusion of funding in the Massachusetts fiscal year 2015 budget.
