Opinion: Proposed New Bedford hotel should underscore city’s rich history - The New Bedford Light A proposed hotel near the new train station should underscore New Bedford’s rich, architectural history – not look like a dull, neutral box.

South Coast Rail is great. It is also 30 years late. - The Boston Globe The new commuter rail service to New Bedford and Fall River is worth celebrating. Still, the fact that it took so long, cost so much, and goes so slowly shouldn’t be acceptable to anyone.

Great editorial from the @bostonglobe.com on the long journey to #southcoastrail completion and why we need to make it easier to build. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/25/o...

Lovely to hear some good news today: Massachusetts #SouthCoastRail is finally a reality for the #MBTA. So many people have worked towards its return after many decades of absence. The state's #9 + #10 metro rank cities once again have a #rail link to #Boston.

For first time in 65 years, South Coast residents can get to Boston on a commuter rail train - The Boston Globe For the first time in more than a century, residents of Massachusetts' southeastern communities can hop on a commuter rail train and be whisked directly into Boston.

This is so great! Now do #EastWest rail!

The new #SouthCoastRail schedule is deeply disappointing. Though I live in New Bedford, I'll probably keep driving to the Middleborough station a majority of the time because there are no departures from New Bedford between 7:25 and 9:33 and school drop off is 7:30 at the earliest. @mbta.com

Had to stop for an MBTA test train on my way home from work this afternoon. They're hoping to start regular commuter train service next spring! #SouthCoastRail
