Kendal Green Station Could be worse, at least it has a buildingpic.twitter.com/BhNUkzacAD
Next stop is Brandeis/Roberts, adjacent to Brandeis University Glad I could find a winter pic so you know what they look like half the yearpic.twitter.com/9wedcJbG9c
Next stop is Waltham, a downtown stop at the heart of a large Boston suburb with many bus connections...and it looks like thispic.twitter.com/rtqKme3lqa
Gotta love that they have a roof and high platforms for, oh, 5% of the station but not the rest
Waverly Station located in a *very* wealthy suburb of Boston, and this is the best they can managepic.twitter.com/odp3qSZbDf
How hard is it to build a roof over your platforms anyway?
Belmont Station The building, used now by the Lions Club, is inaccessible to passengers--they just wait at a low platform behind itpic.twitter.com/QjZhst3PE5
At the next stop--Porter Square--there is a connection available to the Red Line subwaypic.twitter.com/b6VhNIx0OK
In the second pic you can see MBTA's capacity to react to snow: it has none, and had to cancel servicepic.twitter.com/KXmIaRLV2a
...and after Porter, we reach the terminal, North Station. So: why am I bumming you out with these dismal stations?
Mainly to demonstrate how much low-hanging fruit there is. The Fitchburg Line--and others like it--are *barely there* in the first place!
Build roofs. Install high platforms. Install fare gates. Replace loco-hauled fleet with DMUs. Sell concessions. We can do it!
