Yawkey got 360 boardings and 460 alightings daily as of 2012, and that number has almost certainly gone up with the increased frequencies. So that's conservatively at least 5% and quite possibly closer to 10% of passengers on the line using Yawkey station. It's primarily being used by passengers from outside Boston commuting to BU, Fenway/Kenmore, and the LMA. They're saving a solid 15-20 minutes of commute time, versus an extra minute or so of dwell time for passengers staying on board.
Neither Boston Landing nor West will be an all-trains stop - there isn't the demand for that. Commuting hours to either stop will be much more focused than the all-day demand to the LMA, and otherwise they'll just be served by locals.
