Great way to take train to NYC or DC. Why do South Station. 128 is easier especially from NH. Parking available and travel time is 1hr 15 min from Manchester NH.

Great option to avoid Boston. Clean and well maintained. Covered parking right beside the station reasonable prices.

Poorly maintained. Could be so much better. Note: 12/17 update below. Pricing. The pricing is $7/ first 14 hours and $14/each day thereafter. Not cheap or $4/day like similar stations in the area. Condition. Not old at all but cracking in multiple locations. On a rainy or snowy day water seeps through the parking structure ceilings. Enjoy dodging the water. In the winter that water leaves black ice patches inside the dark parking structure. Walk carefully. You also could see a little crumbled concrete on the top of your car when you leave. The platform escalators currently work. One escalator was out for more than a year. That brings a lot of foot traffic (for rush hour standards) to narrow concrete sets of steep stairs on each platform. Ever sat in line trying to drive out of the structure? That sensation you are feeling is your car is bouncing up and down as cars move on the ramp. Not comforting. Parking. Cars can pay for parking with EZPass. Nice idea. The trouble is that a LAZ employee now has to hang out at the gates every afternoon/evening because invariably there will be cars that cannot leave (machine malfunctions, driver transponder not working, driver account low, confused driver, etc.). The LAZ employee and driver then talk about the matter for a while and complete paperwork as other drivers beep. It causes additional 10-minute traffic jams just to exit the structure. UPDATE: As of December 2017, a new parking company with new exit machines is managing the site. Even worse! The new machines are more sketchy/less reliable than before and often the company does not have an employee downstairs to help with problems. During rush hour, add between 10-25 minutes just to exit the parking structure. Oversight: The Transit Police provide no oversight. Some drivers speed in that little parking structure. Watch out when you walk to your car or to the station. Keep children close to you. Some drivers just park in the middle of the aisles, blocking walking access into the station or your ability to drive out of the structure. The same BMV SUV is parked in a parking lane most weekdays. There are spaces, but those drivers know that there is no enforcement so it is easier to make a space in the center of an aisle instead of parking a little further away. Likewise, you can see a fight about once a week in the drop off area as private taxi cab drivers argue with each other or aggressive drivers picking up riders yell at each other and refuse to stop for pedestrians. Cleanliness. The bathrooms are checked and interior waiting area is pretty good. Thank you. The trash containers (especially walking from the structure to the the 2nd floor waiting area) are not full but overflowing with trash. Trash in outer areas of the parking structure are not cleaned at all. Ex: A DD iced tea cup sat on the back stairs for more than three months as its lemon disintegrated. All in all - the station was a nice idea. Some architect or MBTA official is very proud. It's too bad that the station apparently has no oversight. The MBTA and Transit Police take between no and little responsibility in managing it.

Very clean and comfortable which I didn't expect. Free WiFi! Really impressed.

This station is known as Westwood – Route 128. This station named as Route 128 is because it is near the highway near its southern terminus. Interstate 95 leaves the beltway, U.S. Highway 1 continues straight and Interstate 93 begins at Canton.
