Shoreline East ticketing question

I've been getting conflicting information about this, so hopefully someone here will have the proper answer. Let's say that this Friday, I want to go from Westbrook to New Haven in the afternoon. As you know, there's no westbound service from Westbrook to New Haven, only eastbound service to Old Saybrook. So I'd have to take an eastbound to OSB and then ride the train express back west to New Haven. How would such a trip be charged? Westbrook to New Haven? OSB to New Haven? Or would one be charged for two trips (Westbrook to OSB, then OSB to New Haven)? I know this is not something which happens much and no one has the answer.

TIA.

This is really not a good place to ask a question of this nature and I am only guessing the answer but my guess would be two separate fares; Westbrook to Old Saybrook and Old Saybrook to New Haven.

I would ask the conductor upon boarding and tell him you ultimately want to go west to New Haven. He/she may either cut you a break, or charge you the full fare.

WBK-NHV direct: $5.25
WBK-OSB-NHV: $3.75 + $5.75

Also check the schedule, 'cause you don't want to accidentally get on a train which goes to New London, or one which doesn't take passengers back west to New Haven.
