Bumping this thread...its been 11 months since there was any action in this thread...has there been any progress in real life?
Back in June, there was an update given to the FMCB: Contract No. S31CN02 – Ruggles Station Commuter Rail Platform Project (PDF)
Back in June, there was an update given to the FMCB: Contract No. S31CN02 – Ruggles Station Commuter Rail Platform Project (PDF)
• Improve MBTA service and MBTA and Amtrak operational flexibility: Currently 30% of inbound commuter trains bypass
Ruggles Station requiring a transfer at Back Bay Station to the Orange Line to get back to Ruggles. By adding a new platform to
service Track 2, more MBTA Commuter Rail users will be able to directly access Ruggles Station.
• Improve station accessibility: Four existing elevators will be replaced and a new elevator will be added to improve station
accessibility.
• SGR: Address interior and exterior repairs and improvements to bring the facility up to a State of Good Repair.
