Charles/MGH T Stop

The prettiest, cleanest and most scenic of T-​Stops. Hands down. End of story.
It’s so nice to look out and see Boston all around you and to admire it. This Stop is also great for someone who likes to take pictures. I can’t continue to write about this stop without wanting to break out in song or to write a poem in my journal. Love this stop!

This is the only train station I’ve ever been to that’s worthy of a review. The design provides shelter from the elements and a breath of fresh air at the same time. If you’re headed outbound (to Cambridge), walk all the way down to the exposed end of the platform and take a minute to look around (if you’ve got one). On a nice day, you get both sides of the river, Back Bay and Prudential, and downtown sprouting up from behind the platform. Sometimes, if I’m not in a rush and hear the next train arriving as I enter the station, I just… let it go. Then, I walk down to the spot I mentioned and reward myself for taking the time to appreciate these parts of life.

the updated station is so much more impressive then the old one.

I sort of wonder why it’s even worth writing a review of a T-​stop (…how does this information allow people to make decisions? perhaps if you have the choice of T-​stops?)
Well, here’s why I think this is one of the best T-​stops in the area:
1. There’s phone signal/​internet because it is one of the few above-​ground stops on the red line.
2. The view between here and Kendall is stunning. Recently I have been wondering — Could you rent out a T-​car and get married stopped on the Longfellow bridge? It’s gorgeous!
3. It’s pretty. That counts.
4. It is big enough to handle the crowds that come through
5. They sell coffee in the mornings at this cute little fair trade coffee stand.
6. The elevators work.
7. Even though it’s outside, you never have to wait in the rain, because the whole thing is covered. Fresh air without the rain = refreshing.

One of the nicer stops on the red line in my opinion. Very convenient to the hospital and Beacon Hill obviously, it is a nice blend of inside and outside in design. As clean as the Boston T can be and easy to grab coffee.

what other T stop gives you panoramic city skyline and river views?
…
yea I couldn’t think of any either.
BEST T STOP IN BOSTON. Yes its a little poorly ventilated/​heated. But i’ll take if it means fresh air and sunshine.
Also gotta love the newspaper guy. «gooooood morning. time to start the day! Iiiiiiitttttts Friday! You made it!» He cracks me up!

It’s clean, fairly pretty, there’s usually someone selling flowers, and it’s exceedingly convenient. What more does a T stop need?

I love this stop. Recently renovated and sparkling in the sunshine, the stop gives you the best and most beautiful view of Boston. This is where I realised I actually liked the city — after months of miserably trudging around the grubbery of Harvard Sq I finally looked up as I went over the Longfellow bridge and gasped. For that, this station will forever be a favourite.
Also — they recently added a little coffee cart in the station that is open in the mornings. Very convenient with friendly staff. All the more reason to get off here.

This has to be one of my favorite T stops in Boston. Now that it’s been fully renovated it’s clean, well light and just plain awesome, especially if headed outbound because you get to admire the city skyline while waiting for the train the arrive. The only negative thing I can say about this subway stop is that it’s an open station so if it’s cold or hot outside, there’s very little you can do about it; no hiding here!

Cleanest. Stop. Ever. If you throw in a coffee shop and take away the employees with bad attitudes, I’d never leave. There are also lots of nice places close by.
