It really does seem like they've consolidated the platform attendants to fewer stations now. And when I've seen them helping direct lost passengers between trains, it does seem to have some benefit there.
One thought about getting doors closed on full trains - with new equipment, a great idea might be for the operator to be able to control the doors on individual cars or married pairs independently. I.e., at a station like Harvard inbound they could close up the back of the train (using the CCTV monitors) separately, then be able to deal with just the first couple cars. I wonder if something like that would be possible with the technology onboard new heavy rail cars.

Wondering if I'll see the Western Route double-tracking finished before I retire...
