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.

Boston's Green Line is the oldest train line in America, dating back to 1897. The B branch of the…read moreline is the northernmost of the three lines that split west of Kenmore. It travels down the middle of Commonwealth Avenue (aka Comm Ave) and ends at Boston College. There are 24 stations on the Green Line, which runs about six miles. A full run at a normal time will take about 45 minutes. Busier times are close to an hour. During rush hour, the trains run often but not often enough. It gets way too crowded. I've skipped boarding trains at Boylston for 20 minutes until there was enough room for me to squeeze on. Fortunately, I don't have to commute in Boston because this would suck. I'm sorry, fellow riders! And as for the riders, I do see the occasional dude offer his seat to a more senior rider. This doesn't happen often enough, especially when the sign says right there that the seat is reserved for handicapped or elderly!

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).

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.

I've been back occasionally over the years. It serves both the T (subway) and commuter rails. I don't have any tips or advice or strong feelings towards it, since I don't frequent this station. I just want to say for how much Boston rains (yes, Boston rains more than Seattle), make sure you are prepared because much of the platform can be uncovered. Oh, and the commuter rail doesn't always come directly on the said inbound/outbound platform. So make sure you double check with the conductor before you get onboard, but also be prepared that the conductor may mock your question and not answer your question. Hey, welcome to Boston.

There's a lot of bus routes that go here. Another station with the location about the only good thing about it, and that's only when there's a game.

Lansdowne Station sits at the heart of one of Boston's most dynamic construction zones, surrounded…read moreby towering cranes and the skeletal frameworks of ambitious air rights developments that promise to reshape the Fenway landscape. The station occupies a unique position tucked directly alongside the Mass Pike (I-90), where the constant hum of highway traffic mingles with the rhythmic clatter of approaching trains. Just one block from Gate A of Fenway Park, the station serves as a crucial gateway for baseball fans and commuters alike. The proximity to the ballpark is celebrated through a striking public art installation that honors the numerical legacy of baseball--displaying the retired numbers of Red Sox legends and MLB greats who have been permanently enshrined in the sport's history. The station's architecture reflects both practicality and exposure to the elements. Its semi-sheltered design provides protection from the worst weather while maintaining an open-air feel that keeps passengers connected to the bustling urban environment around them. The two-level structure efficiently manages passenger flow, with stairs and elevators providing access to both inbound and outbound platforms, ensuring accessibility for all travelers. This vertical design allows the station to maximize its footprint in a space constrained by highway infrastructure on one side and the dense urban fabric of the Fenway neighborhood on the other. As construction continues to rise around it, Lansdowne Station stands as both a witness to and facilitator of the area's ongoing transformation. Note: This was formerly known as Yawkey Station. The MBTA renamed this Lansdowne Station due to its proximity to Lansdowne Street in 2019 after community concerns around memorializing members of the Red Sox owning Yawkey family who long-refused to hire African-American baseball players. They were the last holdouts in the MLB. The city of Boston reverted the name of nearby Yawkey Wayto Jersey Street for similar reasons the prior year.

I came for a concert and there were food booths and merch vendors on the street. The area has bars and restaurants to post up and people watch. You can stand in the middle of Yawkey and just take it all in for a few minutes. I sure did and appreciated that I got to experience such a spectacular evening that started on Yawkey. Everyone was in good spirits and courteous. Clearly even if there isn't an event happening at Fenway you can still explore the different bars and have a good time. I'd recommend to not wear any other team swag besides Red Sox or Boston teams in this area just to be safe. Mel M Yelp 17:127

I had a question and an employee did get an answer but she took so long my train was there and I almost just left her because she was slowly walking back to me like she had no care in the world. This place is chaotic as well. Between the Bruins games people, people partying and we got the cross fire of Salem people and Halloween weekend people - wasn't fun and finding our Lyft was a mess. I really didn't like this at all, and the train windows were so dirty you couldn't even see out of them. I guess it doesn't help it's directly under TD Garden so it makes sense for the madness but I'll pass.
