    A year into my quest to visit and review every single MBTA subway station in Boston, it is finally…read morecomplete with today's stop at Savin Hill. Savin Hill is on the Ashmont branch of the Red Line. It is an above ground station and is next to Interstate 93. It is between JFK/UMass (inbound) and Fields Corner (outbound). Located below the crossover of Savin Hill Avenue, the station is handicapped accessible with an elevator between the platform level and the ticketing concourse. There are audible and visible announcements of the next train in either direction. The station has the usual automated ticket vending machines to purchase a Charlie Ticket or add value to your Charlie Card. A staff booth was unoccupied when I was here in the afternoon. The station platform is covered but quite breezy. I would imagine it gets very cold while you're waiting for a train. Woohoo, I have now been to every station on the Red, Orange, Blue and Green lines from Lechmere to Reservoir, Forest Hills to Oak Grove, Wonderland to Bowdoin and Alewife to Ashmont. Woot!

    Sometimes the best way to describe something is by comparison. And that's how I best express my…read morefavor of the Savin Hill T stop... I could walk to either JFK/UMass or Savin Hill. I live exactly halfway between, in consideration of both time and distance. I choose to walk to Savin Hill, despite it's a step backwards in my commute (to Central Square) One of Savin Hill's best comparative features is that it DOESN'T smell like urine! Another is the cleaning crew I see at least a few mornings a week. The station was renovated a few years back, and they really manage the up-keep well. On the first of the month, the staff here is always very helpful while people struggle to buy the new month's LinkPass. And though this has nothing to do with the MBTA, there's a coffee shop, a dry cleaners and a bar all within 100 feet. Savin Hill FOR THE WIN!

Elevator, stairs or escalator up to turnstiles. Stairs or elevator down to platform. MBTA maps on walls as expected, security and custodial staff on site during our Saturday visit. Parking is pay by phone. Weekend rate three dollars for the day (until midnight) and weekday nine dollars. This is the Orange line terminus.

Big crowds, lots of bunching about, it looked uncomfortable. In addition to the buses, Forest Hills is the southern terminus for the Orange Line. It does get some service from the commuter rail and while Amtrak passes through, it does not stop. The next inbound station is Green Street. For the Orange Line, it is an island platform. Signage indicates which is the next track to depart (if there's more than one train) and when. There is also some shelter on the platform if there isn't a train to board. The station is fully handicapped accessible with stairs, elevators and escalators (though in the evening, they were all "up only.") There is parking here for daytime commuters. The ticketing concourse has the usual turnstiles and automated ticketing machines to purchase a Charlie Ticket or add value to your Charlie Card.
