More Green Line Trolley Service Suspensions Set For February

BROOKLINE, MA — Green line riders who use the B, C or D line to get from Newton and Brookline back and forth into downtown Boston will once again be looking at longer trips later this winter because of a track project.

The MBTA said shuttle buses will replace regular trolley service between Copley and Babcock Street on the B line, Cleveland Circle on the C line and Brookline Hills on the D line.

Route 57 bus service will be free to ride between Kenmore Square and Babcock Street for the duration of the work.

Affected stops for the Feb. 20 to March 8 closures consist of:
Copley
Hynes Convention Center
Kenmore
Blandford Street
Boston University East
Boston University Central
Amory Street
Babcock Street
Saint Mary's Street
Hawes Street
Kent Street
Saint Paul Street
Coolidge Corner
Summit Avenue
Brandon Hall
Fairbanks Street
Washington Square
Tappan Street
Dean Road
Englewood Avenue
Cleveland Circle
Fenway
Longwood
Brookline Village
Brookline Hills

The work is intended to increase the speed of service along the tracks and make trolley service more reliable. Work on the E line and other connections through Kenmore Square was recently completed.
