Blandford St. - this station *closure* is confirmed. Platforms can't be rebuilt in place due to the tunnel portal incline. My speculation is it reappears in a later phase (combined with BU East west of Blandford St.), which would have to consider the current pocket track in the design.

Packards Corner - this station rebuild is confirmed (platform length/height, etc.). The T will also relocate the Naples Rd. crossover nearby. My speculation is the platforms will be rebuilt east in front of Star Market, allowing the city to simplify road geometry in the intersection.

Warren St./Allston St. - this station consolidation is confirmed. Like BC and Chestnut Hill Ave., platforms will be extended and raised 8" over current. I'm guessing the T will retain the Allston St. name for the new stop.

Summit Ave. - another bit of speculation. I think it could appear in a later B line phase because Warren St. and Allston St. will be combined (discussed below), shaving off travel and dwell times. There is currently a 1/3 mile gap between Washington St. and Warren St.

Chiswick Rd. (Wallingford Rd.?) - this station rebuild is pure speculation by me. The current station is too short for 2 type 10s. It could be rebuilt in a later phase and moved east a block for 250 ft platforms. Maybe Sutherland Rd. also gets consolidated into this possible new station.

Chestnut Hill Ave. - this station rebuild is confirmed. It will extend the platform length and raise its height 8" to reduce platform/trolley door gaps. South St. will be consolidated into this station due to current ADA inaccessibility + low ridership there.

Foster St. - this station is pure speculation by me. I think it could appear in a later B line phase because South St. will no longer exist (discussed below), creating a ~2/3 mile gap between stations. (My platform length assumption is 250 ft here and for all stations, matching BC's spec.)

BC - the current station is located within the line's terminal yard just west of Lake St. The T announced in November that this stop would be rebuilt east of Lake St. to accommodate the larger type 10s (113 ft each). The platforms will be 8" higher than now and 250 ft long to berth 2 type 10s.
