Currently there is a planned extension from Bowdoin to Charles/MGH for connection to the Red Line, which will see the loop removed.

[@jmalerbaboss]

There is another planned extension to Lynn.

@@jmalerbaboss That's in the other direction

Thanks for this! Pleased to say I snuck round the Bowdoin loop!

[@radanju3]

I didn't even know Bowdoin had a yard. I wonder what it looks like.

[@ElevatorMan60]

Hi! I love your MBTA station tours! Could you do more in the future?

[@cityseby]

The next time I go to Boston I plan on doing some. Any requests?

[@ElevatorMan60]

Sebastian Sinisterra Yes! Downtown Crossing, Kenmore, Govt ctr, Airport, Maverick, State St. all of those would be cool. State st would be my favorite

[@cityseby]

It might take me some time but I'll definitely do all of these soon, along with some other stations. Stay tuned!

[@ElevatorMan60]

Sebastian Sinisterra Awesome! Can’t wait!

The escalators at Bowdoin have been down for a year. Why's that?

[@jayy9029]

bowdoin will likely be gone in a future extension to Charles/MGH

[@CaptainHollyShort]

At about 2:00 where it says Emergency Exit on the far wall do you know what that's referring to? As far as I knew Bowdoin only has one exit and that's the headhouse you enter through.

[@cityseby]

My guess would be that there's some sort of exit within the footprint of Bowdoin Yard.

[@CaptainHollyShort]

@@cityseby Well, I'll take a look next time I'm there cause I'm kinda curious now but it's gonna be a while with all this self-isolation :(

[@chinanuokoli12]

Why does the Bowdoin station not have an elevator? It’s the only station of those on the Red, Orange, & Blue lines that is not accessible…

[@thebostonbusguy2265]

And at 2:37 do the doors not open automatically?

[@cityseby]

Nope, those buttons exist solely for this station!

[@thebostonbusguy2265]

Could you tour Jackson sq or ashmont maybe?

[@awersomeplaneguy9999]

Are Bowdoin platforms shorter than at other stations, and cannot hold the full 6 car train at a time, is this true?

[@cityseby]

Only the drop off side (northern side) can hold six cars. The departing side (southern) can only hold 4 cars which is why there's buttons.
