Charles/MGH Station also known as
Charles or
Charles Street, is located above
Charles Circle, at the intersection of Cambridge Street and
Charles Street, in
Boston, Massachusetts. The
rapid transit station is on the MBTA
Red Line and is elevated, being located at the Boston end of the
Longfellow Bridge, which carries the subway and vehicular traffic across the
Charles River. Trains enter or exit a tunnel just southeast of the station. The station is one of the few on the Red Line that have no bus connections. On February 17, 2007 a new
headhouse for Charles/MGH station was opened a half block east of its former location to house escalators and elevators, making the station
accessible to persons with disabilities for the first time.
