The Worcester Line of the MBTA Commuter Rail will temporarily reduce its weekday train schedule starting May 2.

Under the temporary adjustments, inbound trains 512, 516, and 522 and outbound trains 507, 511, and 517 will be eliminated. There will be time adjustments to inbound trains 510, 514, 518, 520, 532, 534, and 536 and outbound trains 501, 503, 505, 509, 513, 515, 519, 521, 523, 525, 527, 529, 531, 533, 535, and 537.
Weekend inbound services will be unchanged, and weekend outbound services will have a five-minute time adjustment for all Saturday and Sunday trains.
The new schedule will last from May 2 through October. Weekday peak service in the morning and evening will remain unchanged.
