if you visit by train, don't make the careless mistake we did waiting until the last minute! the amtrak northeast corridor regional train only stops in mystic 3-5x/day both directions and it books up well ahead of time. so we rented a car in stamford and took mnrr/subway from there. it turned out that it was best to have a car, but you could do it with no car and just rent bikes.
i think there is some plans or thoughts to expanding the new haven-new london shore line east trains to mystic, westerly and perhaps providence and onward, but i dk the status of that. one problem might be that they would have to share that amtrak bridge.
