    Forest Hills Station - Forest Hill MBTA Station 6/2023

    Late evening at Forest Hills, I had dinner at a restaurant across the street where I could see the…read morevery long queues for people waiting on buses. 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.

Made of steel, glass, cement, and bad taste, it stands like a wart on the otherwise relatively attractive face of JP's Forest Hills section. The outside of the station features bus pick-ups and poor signage on three sides, a green line trolley stop that is marked despite it not being operational for over a decade, and crowds of people that are virtually impossible to penetrate. Once inside, things aren't so bad anymore. There's a little donut place called Mike's Donuts. Mike's Donuts has terrible coffee and pretty bad donuts. But if you need a donut and coffee, Mike's can sell you them. The news stand isn't bad, but they run out of the Globe by 8am most days. There are ample CharlieCard machines, and a big train platform. There is also fruit and flowers for sale. Security there is almost always a presence, so you don't have to worry about crime. Beware the bell system. The way it works is a bell rings, and then you have 30 seconds before the train leaves. In practice, the train's doors are often closed when this happens, or you might be sitting there for 5 minutes.

    Shawmut is an underground station on the Red Line and is right in the middle of a completely…read moreresidential neighborhood. Surrounded by homes and absolutely no commercial buildings, this is all about the commuters. There is handicapped access with an elevator from the street level and the ticketing area down to the platform level. The usual turnstiles and automated ticket machines are present. Helpfully, there is a visual display upstairs that indicates the next train in either direction so you know if you need to rush your way to the platform or if you can take a more leisurely stroll. Side platforms and not an island, so the doors will open on the right side. As the station is completely underground, you're protected from the elements here. There are audible and visual announcements of the next train. The station is surprisingly clean and quite modern thanks to renovations. It is definitely one of the nicer stations on the Red Line. Shawmut is between Ashmont (outbound, the terminus of this branch) and Fields Corner (inbound). [Review 9859 overall, 1437 of 2018.]

    As far as T stations go, this is probably my favorite…read more First & foremost - it's indoors - protection from the elements while awaiting the train to arrive... yes please! The surrounding neighborhood is both safe and also, visually a nice one to walk through. Alternatively, if you aren't too familiar with the area or it's late night - there is also a very well-lit pedestrian walkway leading from the station out to Melville Avenue.

    Green Street Station is on the Orange Line. Not a very busy station but it is fully handicapped…read moreaccessible and that's awesome. There are escalators and stairs and an elevator from the platform level to the street/ticketing level. The station features visual and audible announcements of the next train in both directions, which is helpful. There are automated ticket machines for adding value or purchasing a Charlie Ticket. When I was here, there was also a red shirted "Can I Help You?" staffer to answer questions. Located between Forest Hills (outbound, the terminus of the line) and Stony Brook (inbound), Green Street is an island platform so the train doors will open on the left.

    Green Street station has been good to me…read more Seeing as this is the first stop after a terminal station, the inbound trains are always on time and that right there makes for a positive experience. Not having to hear the PA system announce: "experiencing slight delays due to police action at such and such a station" while waiting for the train to work in the morning gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling all over. It is actually a very clean station inside too. We won't talk about the tracks further down past the platform - you could build a house with the amount of garbage gathered there - but there are trash and recycling bins a plenty, so there is really no need to drop your junk anywhere but in the basura. There is almost always an attendant manning the station. There is an elevator for handicapped citizens or mom's with strollers. Location is great, it empties you out within walking distance to the Arboretum, Jamaica Pond, the Brewery complex (although Stony is closer) and Doyles. I just can't find anything bad to say about this station - except - the hoards of English High School students who swarm the platform every afternoon from 2-3 pm. They are loud, rude and obnoxious. Model citizens in the making, if I may. Maybe I'm just bitter because I have to wait and ride with these heathens three days out of the week...if I only saw them once and a while, I probably wouldn't even mention it. But they ruin my ride into work. You can't hear your iPod. You can't concentrate on a book. You can't hear yourself think in between the hooting, screeching and swearing emitted from these unruly creatures. So I pretty much sit there, brewing, watching and listening to them, because I have no choice. Which is why I'm not a teacher at an inner city high school. Point in case. Otherwise, Green is the queen of the Orange Line!
