    I went to Boston 3 and we took the train to Mansfield. If I remember correctly, it took about 45 minutes to get to Mansfieldfrom Boston. Had to cab it on the way back to Boston. Cost about 50 bucks or so.

    Ya you can take a train from Boston to Mansfield, but the problem is getting home. It looks like the last train to leave mansfield going inbound towards Boston is shortly after 10:00pm.

    I'd rather drive in and sit through traffic than pay for a 45 min cab ride on the way home.

    I wouldn't count on public transportation around here. You will most likely get stuck. Mansfield is in an area where there is one cab company and you will have to wait a long time after you call for them to pick you up. I suggest renting a car.

    Hey,
    Here's a schedule for transportation. This station is 2.5 miles away from the Tweeter Center. The Tweeter Center is on 140 (South Main Street) so it's a straight walk or ride from there. The last train leaves at 11:49 (if I read the Schedule right).

    I went to the "River Rave" last night (Filter and STP) -Catching a cab is not an option and the road is being torn up.

    If your staying in Mansfield it would work otherwise I wouldn't chance it.

    Good Luck.
