What is the quickest way to get to Boston from Hempstead NY by train?

Question

I need to get to Boston for a job interview and I am in Hempstead NY. I know nothing about the train and subway systems. How do I get there and what trains do I take, AND where can I find the timetables? Thanks!

Answer 1

Have you tried Amtrak?  I am not familiar with the Boston Transit but that may be a good place to start.  They will have times including travel to Hempstead or near there.  www.amtrak.com  Good Luck

Answer 2

As already stated you will take Amtrak from Penn Station

Take the LIRR from the closest station to you in Hempstead to Penn Station.  Go upstairs to the main waiting area (Amtrak/NJ Transit)

LIRR schedules are here:
