Yawkey is a station on the MBTA Commuter Rail Framingham/Worcester Line. It is situated near Fenway Park, Boston University and the Longwood Medical and Academic Area.
The station has a single passenger platform on the southerly (inbound) track, which is shared by both inbound and outbound trains. Because of the short platform, passengers exiting trains at Yawkey must be in the rear three cars of the train. Plans for a development in the vicinity of the station would incorporate an extension of the platform, as well as improvements to station access.[2]
Yawkey was opened on April 29, 1988, and initially was only used for service to Fenway Park for Boston Red Sox games; regular commuter service to the station did not begin until January 2, 2001.[1]
