An above ground station on the Orange Line across the river in Charlestown, Community College is of…read morecourse next to the Bunker Hill Community College. It is located underneath Interstate 93 but is still outdoors. You're covered from the rain and snow but not the wind or the cold. It is an island platform station, which means that the doors open on the left. There are audible and visual announcements of the next incoming train in either direction. There is no parking here. The station is completely handicapped accessible. There are turnstiles at street level and the usual automated ticket vending machines. The station is between North Station (inbound toward Forest Hills) and Sullivan Square (outbound towards Oak Grove).

Yep that's definitely happened to me. Thankfully this one isn't located in the depths underground like Porter Square requiring multiple long stair cases/escalators to resurface. Aside from that logistical annoyance, I also have a horror story about how I was trapped on the red line trying to get to Seaport for an event for well over 40 minutes. There were issues with our train and if you know the Inbound line between Kendall/MIT to Charles MGH there is a vertical incline to clear the Longfellow bridge between the stations. (We didn't make it far before trouble happened.) Unfortunately the train struggled to climb and remained stuck waiting for assistance and updates. Disturbingly every 5 minutes or so we could feel gravity sliding the car back a few feet as well. I felt bad for the train operators who announced "we apologize for this inconvenience, we will get this train moving momentarily" every few minutes. The apology while appreciated lost the impact after the first few iterations. I was extremely late for my event, which thankfully I was not presenting or speaking. The worst aspect was we were trapped. No additional cars behind us until they decided to hitch our dead train to another to propel us to the next station where of course we all poured out at Charles MGH in the overcrowded station. Ever since that incident I have been wary of any red line delays.

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.

It's actually tougher to get to the entrance now if you're coming southbound because of the cross-traffic coming out of the lot and the 2 poorly timed traffic light sets. I wish the inside/T-stop part could get a face-lift too. Maybe over time. That would include the rest rooms. My opinion is still that the only way I'd want to go in there is with an open petri dish for a science project.
