So, West Concord was an 8.5/10. That was good! What about its very revolutionary sibling, Concord? Well….
So, the walk from West Concord was pretty pleasant save for a dicey crossing of the Concord Turnpike (MA Rte. 2). The town center was pretty nice, as an area. There’s local restaurants, a Cumby’s, a Dunkies, and even a train station! Let’s look at it.
Oh god. Oh dear god. This is bad. So, you have two low level inaccessible platforms. They’re both in rather shitty condition. The inbound platform has the red dot matrix signage and a freakin’ BUS SHELTER for shelter. YEAH. YOU GET A RINKY DINKY-ASS LITTLE BUS SHELTER TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE RAIN AND SNOW HERE. You also have a few benches and a bit of parking as well. Yay? I wonder how Paul Revere would feel about this station. 1 if by land, 2 if by sea? I think 1 if a good station, 2 if absolute dogshit, and for this one I’d have to put out two lanterns to signify it’s a STEAMING SACK OF SHIT. The redcoats are coming? Yeah, they’re coming, to warn everyone this station is godawful! Especially when you have an 8.5/10 station IN THE SAME GODDAMN TOWN! FUCK. The station house looks cool at least?
The good: It’s in the town center, kinda! Yeah, that’s about it. Free parking too, maybe?
The bad: EVERYTHING ELSE. WHY ARE ALL THE AMENITIES SHIT, THEY’RE ALL BUNCHED NEXT TO A BUS SHELTER ON THE INBOUND PLATFORM, WHY IS THERE A BUS SHELTER?! WHY, JUST WHY?! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!
Nearby points of interest: I got lunch at a nearby place. Wasn’t the best of food in terms of quality though. The area looks interesting though!
Transit connections:
Commuter Rail (Fitchburg)
Overall, just, no. Just no. This one pissed me off after West Concord. WHY?!
Rating: 3/10
