North Station Platform Signage, MBTA Boston
Interior signage at North Station, one of Boston’s oldest and most complex transit hubs. The station sits beneath TD Garden and serves as a major interchange between the MBTA Orange Line, Green Line (north branches), Amtrak Downeaster, and MBTA Commuter Rail. The current underground rapid-transit facilities date largely to the late 20th-century rebuilds, following the demolition of the original above-ground North Station headhouse in the 1920s and subsequent reconstructions tied to Boston’s evolving rail network.
The platform wayfinding reflects this layered role: subway lines, regional rail, and intercity service are all integrated into a single information system. Electronic arrival boards and map panels emphasize transfer efficiency in a station that functions as the northern rail gateway to downtown Boston and the broader New England rail network.
