Holbrook/Randolph (MBTA)

Ah yes, the last station on the original section of the Fall River/New Bedford Line (i.e. pre-extension opening, as this was written on 2025-03-10, the extension will have opened on 2025-03-24). Welcome to Holbrook/Randolph, and quite possibly the most annoying station on the line to handle.

Signage!

Yeah, it’s your standard station. Shelter, benches, yellow signage, high-level platform, single-tracked (there is a siding just past the station on one side!). There’s really not much to say. But, the 238 and 240 stop here! Unfortunately, weekdays only, and I was here on a Saturday. Also, there’s a lot of parking here. Changing lots is done at a grade crossing. Yeah, sorry, not much to say. But, hey, a bus shelter exists for the buses! Montello didn’t have that!

Train!
Looking towards Braintree and Boston!
And towards Fall River, Hyannis, and New Bedford! Also, double track this place!
Parking!
More signage!
Grade crossing!
Track shot!
And of the other way!
Bollards!

The good: It’s your bogstandard Commuter Rail station. There’s buses from here, too! Weekdays only, though.

The bad: WHY ARE THE BUSES WEEKDAY ONLY?!

Nearby points of interest: There’s a pizza place nearby! Crawford Square is a mile away! It’s mostly residential otherwise.

Transit connections:
Commuter Rail (New Bedford, Fall River)
MBTA bus (238, 240)

Overall, not much to remark.

Rating: 6.5/10
