Station layout

History and operations

St. Marys Street is the first outbound surface stop on the "C" Branch. The line emerges from the Beacon Street tunnel at St. Marys Street portal, just east of the station. Until Kenmore was built in 1932, streetcars emerged from the Kenmore portal and ran down the median of Beacon Street from Kenmore Square.

St. Marys Street became fully handicapped accessible after work done under the Light Rail Accessibility Program in 2002.
