Comments

 * Why is the name in infobox written in caps?  Saha ❯❯❯  Stay safe    14:55, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That style is applied to all MBTA station articles to match the style of actual station signage. There's been some back-and-forth about that; I don't have a particular opinion, but it's probably outside the scope of a single GA.
 * Maybe you can write is like, "Church Street station (stylised as CHURCH STREET) is an under-construction"  Saha ❯❯❯  Stay safe    19:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's necessary; it's only stylized that way on station signs and not in sources. Again, this is a discussion that would affect over 300 MBTA station articles, so it's not really in scope here.
 * Replace the bolded words with " "  Saha ❯❯❯  Stay safe  </b> </b> 14:55, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I left Acushnet station bold per MOS:BOLDREDIRECT. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikilink the first New Bedford, Boston etc. words in the body. <b style="border:1px solid black"> <b style="color:#FF0000">Saha</b> ❯❯❯ <b style="color:#0043AF"> Stay safe  </b> </b> 14:58, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Change citation [8] to sentence case (MOS:ALLCAPS) <b style="border:1px solid black"> <b style="color:#FF0000">Saha</b> ❯❯❯ <b style="color:#0043AF"> Stay safe  </b> </b> 15:02, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Disabled access mentioned in infobox, but not in body. Also it doesnt have citation.
 * ✅ Added to the station layout section, as it's covered in the existing citation.
 * "The former Acushnet station, located..." - this introduction of Acushnet station feels a bit abrupt. While reading for the first time, I was unable to find its connection with Church Street station. <b style="border:1px solid black"> <b style="color:#FF0000">Saha</b> ❯❯❯ <b style="color:#0043AF"> Stay safe  </b> </b>
 * ✅ Added a couple words to clarify.
