The article mentions a renovation, but doesn't say when it happens. Isn't there also a neat thingy that tells you which track the next inbound train is coming on? -- Beland 02:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
A statement is made "It is the only MBTA rapid transit station where trains from different branches of a line arrive on separate platforms; this is because the Ashmont and Braintree branches merge immediately inbound from the station. " What about N. Station, (Green line level at) Park Street, Kenmore? The green line maybe considered "light rail" however, is it not treated as Heavy Rail/Rapid Transit while at the fore-mentioned stations? (Or in the case of N. Station Orange/Green) where they are side by side. (comment from User:CaribDigita)
I have access to a couple different track maps of the JFK/UMass area, including a 1986 geographic map (still accurate) and the 2009 Bluebook. I'm tentatively planning to make my free-use map roughly geographic but with the N-S scale compressed (to make the map something other than awkwardly tall). Thoughts?

For better or for worse, I believe we should use the MBTA's actual descriptions of their bus routes. (I swear I'm not just picking a fight over a random comma, and it general I use the Oxford comma). I have conceded extending abbrevations for the sake of clarity, but the more the route descriptions are altered, the more we risk being off in the realm of original research. I don't think there's an reason to include - much less emphasize - the Oxford comma in the 41 route description; we should attempt to present information as its official sources give it.

The infobox and lead shall come first.....
More to follow later on. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 17:10, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
I'll next do the "MBTA era" subsection. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 05:39, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Hopefully "Station layout" can be done in one go when I assess that. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 06:25, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Almost done! I'll get the references section in my next batch. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 23:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
