The bus network needs to be reoriented to primarily N/S . While some 70/71/73 riders are simply going to Harvard/Central Sqs, most are going into the city. Even without NSRL(which is much more likely than BL anywhere west), Worcester Line gets you to the jobs in BB(as most are south of GL) LMA...

Organization before electronics before.........a recalibrated fare structure with ez transfer is one of the principles of Regional Rail.

Regional Rail at NC IS rapid transit!

Almost all of the Northside system (all but about 6-7stations) could be simple 500ft single or staggered double platforms for about 5M per platform. No train on the Northside need be more than 6 cars long, and probably no more than 5 cars

I would suggest 15 min peak frequency, 30 minutes off-peak, if dinkied

I'm suggesting that the two platforms, which are 400ft apart, be connected with a tunnel

And I m sorry you lack imagination

So walking from the Braintree rail platform to the RL platforms is about the same distance that passengers walk from the SS platform to the RL exit, and many riders take the RL anyway. They would trade RR frequencies, which otherwise won't happen for 30 years. It also gives FR and NB a fighting...

A dinky could go back and forth between Greenbush and Plymouth and leave the OC track for frequent service to Brockton and beyond. TM believes that with a few minor changes, 6tph would be possible with electrification. The dinky could run every 15 min. It might require minor additional passing...

There are people here that use this forum to refine ideas that will form the basis for advocacy

Commonwealth has blown several opportunities to push back against Army Corps. Phase II without a viaduct becomes reasonable.

BEMUs MIGHT make sense for Rockburyport and outer Fitchburg, particularly if they were done as dinkys

I'm in. It's about time.

Does anyone know what the maximum grade is on the RL?

Have you ever done RL/SL at South?

This is very useful. Thank you. Job density, please?

Is there a similar diagram for the Pearl/Congress route?

Does anyone know the exact depth (mean sea level )of the bottom of CA tunnel at Pearl St? Are both directions the same depth there?

So, I ve been trying to place exactly where the southernmost end of the OL station is in relation to the surface.

And isn't buff strength mostly a question of frame construction?
