This station, like EVERY<\/a> OTHER <\/a>STATION<\/a> IN BEVERLY<\/a>, absolutely sucks! And, I feel like I’m beating a dead horse on this one, so I’ll probably make this one rather quick. With that out of the way, welcome to North Beverly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The station, much like Beverly (which, thank GOD is finally seeing a minor rebuild!) and Beverly Farms, has a barren platform and barren mini-highs. No shelter on the outbound side, benches exist on the platforms, there’s a red dot matrix signage, wastebaskets, and crossings to change sides. There’s also a small parking lot and even a connection to the route 451 bus. Neat! In terms of the surrounding area, it’s nothing special, really, as it’s just a normal suburban area with a train platform shoehorned in. It really isn’t anything special. As for the inbound platform shelter, it’s a bus shelter. GODDAMMIT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: It’s in suburbia! It also has a local bus connection and is accessible!

The bad: WHY ARE ALL THESE STATIONS SO DAMN BARREN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHFIDOPAHFIDOPSHFGIUODYHGUIOFADWHSFIOP THEY’RE LITERALLY COPY-PASTED FROM EACH OTHER AND IN SHIT WAYS

Nearby points of interest: Just a couple of strip malls.

Transit connections:
Commuter Rail (Newburyport)
MBTA bus (451)

Overall, this station sucks, all the other stations in Beverly suck, and thank GOD all I have left in this town are the 451 and the Beverly Local Bus!
