>>1124760Fast forward 15 years and Worcester is surging due to the skyrocketing cost of living in Boston and the growing high tech/biotech economy driven by the UMass Medical School and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The station now is one of the busiest in the entire MBTA commuter rail system, with nearly 2000 boardings daily, and still growing thanks to the new Worcester->Boston express train that completes the ~50 mile trip in just under an hour.
