The #GLX Union Square stop and new Lechmere station opened yesterday. The new branch serves Somerville & Cambridge with "access to reliable public transit as part of the #BuildingABetterT project," @MBTA said.

I rode the spankin’ new #GLX train from Union Square to the Lechmere station this morning to catch a press conference about this historic milestone in Somerville’s history — which is decades in the making — directly connecting Somerville to Boston for @VilleJournal.

This is how we cut ribbons at the T. With a ceremonial trolley ribbon breaking, the new Lechmere Station & entire Union Branch of the #GreenLineExtension is now open! Serving Cambridge & Somerville, this #BuildingABetterT project provides new access to reliable public transit.
