Weekend Service Changes
When infrastructure repairs or upgrades require more than a few hours, we aren’t able to do them overnight, so work is scheduled over the weekend. On these weekends, buses will replace train service on the part of the line we’re working on.
Planned weekend work is listed below and will be updated if anything changes.
June 6 – 7, 2020
Orange Line
Starts Friday at 8:45 PM
Orange Line trains to Forest Hills will bypass North Station to allow for station improvement work. Please use nearby Haymarket as an alternative.
Green Line
Shuttle buses will replace trains between Kenmore and Riverside to allow for accelerated work on the the Green Line D branch that will lead to faster trips and more reliable service.
An express shuttle bus will run between Copley, Woodland, and Riverside on weekdays during rush hour service.

There will be no service between North Station and Porter to support work on the Green Line Extension.
Inbound trains (toward Boston) will terminate at Porter. For service to Boston, transfer to the Red Line for free.
