Ok, simple really.
Im travelling over by myself from Ireland for NY, Hartford and Mansfield. I see I can get amtrak to hartford after NY and I have a hotel near the meadows. The day after the gig, what is the best way to get to manfield? Any help?

Also, if anyone is driving and has a spare seat id love to take it and pay costs, also have spares!!

    Take the train from Hartford down to a stop where you can then connect and head up to Boston. I'm not sure about the public transportation from Boston to Mansfield though, I've heard that there aren't many options.

    Yeah, public transportation to Mansfield is NOT an option, because the commuter rail leaves early from the town. I'd find a ride there.

    I will give you a ride to Mansfield from Hartford. Do you have an extra ticket for the MSG show? What Mansfield show do you plan to attend, the 30th, or the one that may be added?

    Transportation by car is the way to go--public transportation from Hartford to the Mansfield venue is weak.

    I'll be sleeping it off in Hartford on Friday night, but heading back to MA in the morning. I can drop one or more people off in Providence or Worcester if anyone needs a ride. I'll be hitting both (hopefully) Mansfield shows also.

    Yeah. I may have room too. As it gets closer to the shows I'm sure it will be easier to work out rides. I'm going to make sure I am definitely going from Hartford to Mansfield before I start offering anyone a ride.

    I am driving from Ontario to Hartford, and if the show in Mansfield on the Saturday falls through, I will be going to that for sure. I will be driving from Hartford to Mansfield and so far, I am coming alone, so I will have some room for anyone who needs a ride if Mansfield the next night is a go
