Trains, platforms and getting around with luggage

The MBTA Commuter Rail layers regional service on top of the intercity routes, reaching eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Moving between levels is workable with luggage: lifts and escalators connect the Red Line subway and Silver Line bus rapid transit, and the bus terminal links to the commuter rail concourse the same way. The Silver Line 1 (SL1) bus provides a direct connection between South Station and all Logan International Airport terminals. You'll need to tap or scan your ticket at the fare gates to reach the tracks, and 11 of those gates are wider and designed for luggage, pushchairs, wheelchairs, and bikes. Once you're riding the T, MBTA rules say large items stay on the floor and backpacks come off your back. The station is designed with an accessible, barrier-free path from the drop-off area all the way to the train.

What's near Boston South Station

The Boston Tea Party Museum and Faneuil Hall are each about a ten-minute walk from the station.

Faneuil Hall's public facilities are limited, so it's worth bringing what you need rather than expecting to sort things out there.

The New England Aquarium sits a bit further into the city, open weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and weekends until 6:00 p.m. It bans bags larger than 12 by 12 by 12 inches inside its main building and the Simons Theatre, with exceptions only for changing bags and medical supply carriers.

The Aquarium stop on the MBTA Blue Line is the closest subway station to the New England Aquarium, located 100 yards away, and is also directly adjacent to Long Wharf. One practical note for planning ahead: Boston South Station's own toilets are closed for construction until late November 2026, with temporary facilities along Atlantic Avenue instead.

The New England Aquarium is a non-profit research and conservation organisation known for its exhibits of thousands of marine animals. Long Wharf is a historic pier best known as a bustling marine transit hub for ferries and sightseeing boats, with waterfront dining and harbour views.
