A year ago, Ratmeister posted an image of the MBTA commuter rail map with South Coast Rail posted at Ruggles.
Several commented on the Ruggles map. I noted a couple of days later
-- The CapeFlyer service east of Middleborough should be labeled by it's name "CapeFlyer" and not just "Hyannis (seasonal)."
-- The CapeFlyer will not be using the new Middleborough station -- it should be depicted as branching off north of the station.
Unfortunately, it appears the Ruggles depiction is repeated at East Taunton (and presumably the other new SCR stations) as seen in the recent WBUR article.
An aside: the MBTA's SCR project page has a bit better map. It shows the CapeFLYER departing the Middleborough line just north of the new Middleborough station, and the old (and now seasonal) Middleborough/Lakeville station renamed simply "Lakeville." Unfortunately, the purple line to Lakeville incorrectly suggests this will still be a year-round commuter rail stop.
