The proposed Worcester Line schedule has 14 trains stopping at Boston Landing inbound and 11 outbound.
That's about double what I expected (3 in the morning, 3 in the afternoon) from previous public meetings. Pleasantly surprised.
If you live in Worcester, you get one, and only one train in the AM stopping at BL, at 8:39am
That sort of sucks
Well... I doubt there's any demand, really, for commuter trains between Worcester and Brighton. At least right now.
Isnt the point of commuter rail to bring people into the city?
Isnt Brighton in the city?

Sure, it's technically within the city limits. But from a practical standpoint, how many people will be taking the train from Worcester to Brighton on a weekday morning? One train during prime time rush hour is not enough? Until the area has a lot more office workers and reasons to visit, it makes no sense to have all the eastbound trains stop there during rush hour in the morning, thereby making everyone else's commute unnecessarily longer.
Aside from New Balance proper, BU and Harvard hire a ton of people that will be better off getting off at NB than Back Bay.
Never mind students and retail workers.
There's more than you think.
For example, Athenahealth has 4000+ employees 1.4mi away in Watertown, a parking crunch, runs shuttles to Harvard Sq, Back Bay and South Boston, and has a lot of MetroWest commuters. Without a doubt they're going to start running one to this station and probably going to have pretty healthy use of it.
There's a decent number of other major employers in the area that I could see running private shuttles or similar things to it.
