Alrighty, so now onto the Green Line’s Newton duo! First up, batting, is Newton Highlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, on the inbound side you’ve got the same usual stuff, shelters, with one being heated. The station’s accessible as well, which is nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING DOOR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the other side, you got some seating (though not a lot), an old building housing a dentistry practice, and accessible entry to the station. Also, WHY IS THERE A TEAL SIGN?! THIS IS THE GREEN<\/strong> LINE, NOT THE TEAL LINE!!! -1 for that alone! (jkjk)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: You got a small village nearby! Furthermore, the 59 stops here! Neat, as most other stations either get the MWRTA, or nothing at all! Otherwise, it’s quiet being mostly in a residential area.

The bad: Eh, the tactile strip doesn’t seem to extend all the way! And the outbound side is a little barren (though, to be fair, who’s going outbound here?) AND WHY IS THE SIGN TEAL?!

Nearby points of interest: There’s a small village!

Transit connections:
Green Line (D)
MBTA bus (59)

Overall, I like this station. It’s easily among my favorites, and for that I think it deserves a decent score, for the rural small town feels it gives.
