So, the platform is your standard mini-high setup, wastebaskets and everything. Departure boards exist, the ONLY place on the line where they do (not even at Anderson!!!). There’s also a copious amount of parking. Going towards the station building, which as of 5 years ago was still open, it’s no longer open. WHY?! GOD FUCKING DAMMIT LRTA, MBTA, OR WHOEVER THE FUCK OWNS IT! GODDAMMIT! Ugh, nevertheless, there’s a lot of parking, and there’s a couple of LRTA bus connections!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: It’s got some housing nearby! The mini-highs are also alright, there’s plenty of parking, and you have some LRTA connections.

The bad: WHY IS THE STATION BUILDING CLOSED?!

Nearby points of interest: Eh, not a lot. Housing?

Transit connections:
Commuter Rail (Lowell)
LRTA (3, 4, 13)

Overall, this could’ve been a great station. Maybe even a 10\/10. But, they just had to screw it up BY KEEPING THE STATION BUILDING SHUTTERED!!! Just, WHY?! At least you can kinda walk to it!
