North Beverly (MBTA)

This station, like EVERY OTHER STATION IN BEVERLY, absolutely sucks! And, I feel like I’m beating a dead horse on this one, so I’ll probably make this one rather quick. With that out of the way, welcome to North Beverly!

Helvetica signage!

The station, much like Beverly (which, thank GOD is finally seeing a minor rebuild!) and Beverly Farms, has a barren platform and barren mini-highs. No shelter on the outbound side, benches exist on the platforms, there’s a red dot matrix signage, wastebaskets, and crossings to change sides. There’s also a small parking lot and even a connection to the route 451 bus. Neat! In terms of the surrounding area, it’s nothing special, really, as it’s just a normal suburban area with a train platform shoehorned in. It really isn’t anything special. As for the inbound platform shelter, it’s a bus shelter. GODDAMMIT!

Looking towards Newburyport!
F40PH!!!!
YEP. THIS IS IT. THE INBOUND SHELTER!
GRADE CROSSING!
Towards Boston!
The only other “shelter” on the low level section
TRAIN TO NORTH STATION APPROACHING. PLEASE STAND BACK.
Well-utilized parking!

GRADE CROSSING!
OH NO, HELVETICA CONDENSED!
Looking hella barren…
OH THANK GOD GET ME OUTTA HERE

The good: It’s in suburbia! It also has a local bus connection and is accessible!

The bad: WHY ARE ALL THESE STATIONS SO DAMN BARREN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHFIDOPAHFIDOPSHFGIUODYHGUIOFADWHSFIOP THEY’RE LITERALLY COPY-PASTED FROM EACH OTHER AND IN SHIT WAYS

Nearby points of interest: Just a couple of strip malls.

Transit connections:
Commuter Rail (Newburyport)
MBTA bus (451)

Overall, this station sucks, all the other stations in Beverly suck, and thank GOD all I have left in this town are the 451 and the Beverly Local Bus!

Rating: 4/10
