Does anybody take the commuter rail from Franklin into South Station and then walk a couple blocks to work?

Looking to see how long this takes door to door.

Thanks!

Here is the train schedule MBTA Commuter Rail > Franklin Lines Schedules and Maps. Trip is about an hour, add time to station and time from station to work.

Thanks Janrey. I'm familiar with the schedule but I was looking for a real world timetable factoring in train delays, etc. Sometimes the train will be ahead/behind schedule so I was looking for the time it takes for someone who has been doing the commute for a while.

Years ago I took it from Norwood and it was always pretty much on time. Usually not more than a 5-10 min. difference.

I take it daily. It's pretty reliable and runs close to on time. I run in to about a 10 minute delay home about once a week. There can be some brutal delays (like 60+ minutes) if something breaks, but that happens infrequently.
