That's way out-of-date. The most recent renders had a 2-platform/3-track station that swapped berths with the layover yard (i.e. layover yard to the south, station north...not station south, layover north like the '18 render). And of course it's all going back into redesign now that the layover yard is being deleted.
I guess I wasnt clear enough but I was saying its old and out dated but it has some 3d angles that havent been shown before that can help you squint and imagine better what itll look like without the layover yard compared to the top down views.That's way out-of-date.

All of it's obsolete. There's 1 fewer platform, 1 fewer station track, a completely different expressing pattern, the roadway platform over the layover yard doesn't exist anymore, the shared-use path platform over the station doesn't exist anymore, and the 2 Alts. for the busway designs are completely different. Virtually nothing in the 3D renders represents the most recent concepts.
Who knows? The previous designs really didn't do any provisioning. As it stands the design needs a lot of work, because the current iteration's split between the express tracks and the local/station tracks is going to create traffic conflicts galore for Worcester express + Amtrak meets/overtakes of the locals. They're looking to start VE'ing it, so I bet the shuttle island platform gets deleted entirely as the Grand Junction dinky is not in a study state where it would be anywhere close to being ready by the time the station starts. That could leave a blank space for later infilling. The top level needs some VE'ing too as the only buses slated to use the station busways are 3 private shuttle jitneys (one to Harvard, one to Kendall, one to the LMA), while the current design is an overbuilt mess that berths a much-excessive 6 simultaneous buses they can't explain where will come from.
Interesting new and rerouted bus routes shown in that document.
Also out-of-date. Of the jitney routes, BU dropped out. And the T dropped out of any re-routing of the 66.
