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.

This probably keeps the worst of the wind away and there is some shelter from the worst of the elements. The station is handicapped accessible and they have audible and visual announcements of the next train in both directions. There are machines for topping off your Charlie Card or purchasing a Charlie Ticket. You will need to board the train at the door next to a driver so that you can swipe your form of payment. Newton Centre is located next to some dining and such. No idea about parking. It is on the "D" Branch of the Green Line between Newton Highlands (outbound) and Chestnut Hill (inbound).

Some stations don't have AC, just big fans and it's part of the charm for me. Park St is an important hub. You can stop here for Boston Common and other downtown destinations. You can change here for red or other green directions. It is a tad confusing, sometimes there's staff around. But you can manage. Trains arrive fast and I could have gotten the hang of them better longer I stayed. It makes it easy to get around town and Park st was a stop we used a lot for visiting or changing to other lines.

Even a devout atheist will find a recitation necessary upon arriving at the Park Street T station:…read more"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." I have not had the pleasure of visiting the valley of the shadow of death, but I have been told it is not unlike this T station. The screech of Green Line rolling stock scratching their rails; the wail of children in pain; the stench of a thousand decaying rats; the reddish brown splattering of feces on the wall; the endless tunnels and crevices wet with moisture and tears. They do not comfort me. Woe unto you, ye souls depraved! Its location is not inconvenient. A hop and a skip and a jump from: - the Tremont Street Burger King, - the Granary Burying Ground, - the Boston Common Frog Pond, - the AMC Boston Common 19, - the Washington Street Marshalls, - the Suffolk Dental Group, - the Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial. A true horror it would be to find oneself trapped in the Park Street T station. You step off the last train and the doors are already locked. Your dreams will be haunted by the screech of Green Line rolling stock scratching their rails; the wail of children in pain; the stench of a thousand decaying rats; the reddish brown splattering of feces on the wall; the endless tunnels and crevices wet with moisture and tears. The Park Street T station is best visited with the greatest amount of transience manageable, and even better avoided.

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).

The walk is always slightly longer than I remember getting to the Jersey side entrance. Otherwise the station is your typical above ground green line stop. Steps away from the Food Hall/Shopping area near Time Out Market. I've taken this train plenty of times because the alternative to getting into Fenway by car is paying exorbitant game day prices while sitting in traffic. This is also the closest stop walking (still nearly 1 mile) to get to the MFA from D line. Since you can either wait a few more stops to be slightly closer but it won't be faster overall.

It's a shorter and more direct walk. Other than that, the station is a surface level "D" branch station with minimal services. It is, at least, underneath a wide stretch of Park Drive so there is excellent cover from the elements. It is handicap-accessible, though getting from Park Drive to the platform is a staircase. Fenway is between Longwood (outbound) and Kenmore (inbound).

It's a small station with a small room waiting area. There is a Dunkin' Donuts right there and if you walk around the corner there is a Jugos - which is actually really great - lots of healthy food and drink choices. The train schedule monitors are easy to read and shows the track a few minutes before the train arrives. Then you go down to the platform. What is nice is the platform has the cars marked Car1, Car 2 so you know exactly where your car will be and can wait there and get into right car when the train arrives. Really a nice feature- not seen on many tracks. Getting here by Uber was easy - got dropped off right outside and walk right in. Train was on time and place was not too crowded. So our travel went smoothly. Arriving back also was fairly easy. Got out of the train and went upstairs to the waiting room area. Called an Uber and got home. Overall good experience here.

Situated between South Street (outbound) and Chiswick Road (inbound) there is no shelter here, no automated ticket kiosk, no announcement of the next train and not even a sign to let you know that the T might stop here.

The "station" is near a number of apartment buildings and residential neighborhoods but it is quite close to the Chestnut Hill Reservior and a short walk to Cleveland Circle Note that you will need to board the train next to the train driver so that you can swipe your Charlie Card or Charlie Ticket to pay your fare.
