Default Commuting to and from Danvers?

I'm going to be staying in Danvers for a week this June and plan to go on job interviews throughout the Boston area. Since I won't have a car I was wondering what is the best way to get around to and from Danvers?

My friend only mentioned one train that takes about an hour to get to Boston from Danvers but I was wondering what options would be available? I don't know the exact cities I'll be interviewing in yet but they'd probably be close to Boston and I'd also have to get to them from Danvers.

There is another thread about this very subject. I'll try to find it/repost the link for you. IIRC there were quite a few answers...

The nearest train is in Salem. If you are committed to staying in Danvers, you would be better off renting a car for your visit.

Looks like every message in that other thread said "Don't stay in Danvers"!

There are two bus routes, the 465 and the 468, that connect Danvers Square with Salem. The 465 is hourly, but the 468 has just 2 trips each way per day. If you're in some outlying part of Danvers, you may not be able to get to Boston via public transport at all.

In order to get to Salem train station you will have to get through a part of Peabody. Depending on your location in Danvers you might be closer to a train station in bordering Beverly, which has five train stations.
