On January 8, 2016, the MBTA released their proposed new commuter rail schedules.  The proposal removes the ability for anyone working downtown to get to West Natick before 6 pm unless they leave work before 5 pm (a 4:35 pm South Station departure, specifically).  Unfortunately, 6 pm is when all day care and after school programs shut their doors, often with penalties for parents running a second after that hour mark.  While an express train to Framingham is offered at 5:05 pm (arriving at 5:37 pm), the station is a zone further, does not have adequate parking, and is not walking distance from the apartments / condos directly across from West Natick.  This change unfairly impacts West Natick passengers. http://www.mbta.com/uploadedfiles/About_the_T/Board_Meetings/1.8%20Worcester%20Line.pdf
