Ah yes, the last station on the original section of the Fall River\/New Bedford Line (i.e. pre-extension opening, as this was written on 2025-03-10, the extension will have opened on 2025-03-24). Welcome to Holbrook\/Randolph, and quite possibly the most annoying station on the line to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it’s your standard station. Shelter, benches, yellow signage, high-level platform, single-tracked (there is a siding just past the station on one side!). There’s really not much to say. But, the 238 and 240 stop here! Unfortunately, weekdays only, and I was here on a Saturday. Also, there’s a lot of parking here. Changing lots is done at a grade crossing. Yeah, sorry, not much to say. But, hey, a bus shelter exists for the buses! Montello didn’t have that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: It’s your bogstandard Commuter Rail station. There’s buses from here, too! Weekdays only, though.

The bad: WHY ARE THE BUSES WEEKDAY ONLY?!

Nearby points of interest: There’s a pizza place nearby! Crawford Square is a mile away! It’s mostly residential otherwise.

Transit connections:
Commuter Rail (New Bedford, Fall River)
MBTA bus (238, 240)

Overall, not much to remark.
