Great to see the recovery the commuter rail has a whole has made post-COVID. I'd recommend the MBTA build a small and inexpensive platform so the Foxboro trains could stop at this station too, as they go right through here at 10MPH on a secondary track.

There is some parking off of Rte 27 near the underpass under the tracks. The local cops and businesses will tow you if you try to park in a non-commuter rail parking lot. If the the station is open, get your tickets there from the coffee shop inside to avoid a surcharge on the train. Their machine is unreliable sometimes however. Would have more stars if it was open later and had a bit more parking.

There is a little area that is enclosed with a heater similar to the one at the Fenway station. Unfortunately the heater was broken. A train comes by every 10-20 minutes at night, while in the mornings and noon it's every 5-8 minutes. The train around this area does go a little slow so leave for your destination early. Keep in mind if you get cold easily, don't sit by the doors. A breeze comes in every time they open the doors. If you sit in the middle or away from the doors the green line does heat up!

When you look at the "not to scale" map of the MBTA network, you might think that the B and C and D…read morelines are actually really far apart from each other. Except that out here, Reservoir station, Cleveland Circle Station and Chestnut Hill Avenue Station are within about five blocks of each other. An easy walk and maybe if you're riding the Green Line into the city, you'll have a quicker ride from Reservoir since there aren't as many stops between here and Kenmore. Reservoir is on the D branch of the Green Line. A solid above ground station, it has good cover to protect you from the elements, plenty of waiting area, audible and visual announcements of the next trains in both directions, and automated ticketing machines for purchasing a Charlie Ticket or adding value to your Charlie Card. The station is between Chestnut Hill (about a mile away, outbound) and Beaconsfield inbound. There are a number of bus connections upstairs.

This is where traffic tends to pick up, especially after people fill up at Park St. One time a train broke down in the middle of the tracks. We were stuck in the train cart for over an hour. Then the fire department ended up evacuating the train and made us walk along the dirty tunnels and train tracks. My shoes were ruined because of this incident. No reimbursement. No honor. Japan's trains are beyond better.

Although the platform was open, exposing you to the weather, they do have areas where you can take shelter while waiting for the next train. There were a couple of restaurant options across the street on Brook St and nearby Hancock St. I was able to grab lunch or dinner before heading back to my hotel.

Not cramped, good spaced out parking but it tends to fill up quickly during peak hours but I haven't experienced any issues. Alternatively you can park at North Quincy Station which is about a 5-minute drive further down the line. Overall, it's hassle-free parking as they don't have anyone in the booth like they did years ago. Be sure to have the PayByPhone app if you want to save $1, or just have them bill your car based on the license plate.

Your regular old Boston stop, clearly marked, no issues, subway comes fast. Pretty easy to orient yourself. Don't expect AC, but it is reliable and no problem finding my way.

They're the first stops of Blue Line's outbound and inbound train, which means you get the first pick of seats! During rush hours, between 2pm-5pm it can become VERY PACKED especially at State and Government center stations, if near by Gov it'd be best to take the extra 3 minutes to walk to the Bowdoin Station. After 5 all the way to 1am, the blue line is mostly denizens of Revere and East Boston trying to get home from work. In bound trains are crowded noon to 5pm meanwhile outbounds train become crowded 2pm to 1am (depending on what day) The Bowdoin Station is a bit dark and not too well lit. The cleaners try their best to keep the station clean but the homeless/train riders tend to not respect the space and litter. Keep in mind that this station is NOT disabled accessible. The escalator has been broken for the past 2 years. If you need an elevator or escalator, Government Center would be your best station to hop onto the blue line. Avoid sitting on the benches because the homeless tend to sleep or release bodily fluids on those seats. Though for $2.40 a ride, it's not so bad! The Canada and Japan trains are much more expensive but much more efficient Safe Travels!

A few fast food joints but not nearly enough seating/tables available with some updates given a new Chick-Fil-A was coming. McDonalds, donuts, coffee, a mini bar, alcohol shop, and CVS all inside. Outside taxi and bus stand, though the taxi driver wanted a minimum in charge and would only take cash if it was only $15-20 for the ride to the hotel. Amtrak, buses, subway stop, and regional rail here (MBTA). The building wraps around the corner and doesn't connect to the business tower behind - interesting design, though. They did allow you to board about 10-15 min early.

I can't say that I've seen this level of service at any above ground Green Line station. There are audible and visual announcements of the next train and there are some areas where you can sit/lean while you wait. The station is pretty well lit and there's a taxi stand though both times I was here, I did not see any waiting taxis. There is a ramp boarding area for those who need such assistance in boarding the quite high Green Line train cars. Brookline Village is on the D branch of the Green Line between Longwood (inbound) and Brookline Hills (outbound).
