It does, but you have to switch off at the South Norwalk station for a second train. Out of Milford you only need one train. Danbury schools are ok, but the Milford ones are better, if this person has kids.

Bethel. A town closer to WH. On Danbury line. Better schools.

I'm still concerned about the train thing. They OP would still have to ride down to South Norwalk and switch to a different train.

I’ve taken the train out of Bethel and switched in SoNo or in Stamford on occasion. It’s like three minutes standing on the platform.

I'm spoiled taking it out of Bridgeport (I live in Shelton). Just one train down.

From the Danbury area you can also jump across to the Harlem Line in New York. I’m pretty sure you can take it right into Grand Central without any transfers

Yeah it would make more sense to use Brewster or Southeast Station.

there are direct trains during peak. Still goes through SoNo, but no transfer.
