Editor’s note: This article was updated Thursday with revised information from the MBTA.
At least it’s not on the weekdays. Buses will be replacing MBTA train service from Forest Hills to Jackson Square on the weekends of June 30 and July 7.
The disruption in train service is due to track work. Buses will replace Orange Line trains going both ways and will affect the following station: Jackson Square, Stony Brook, Green Street and Forest Hills.
The MBTA had originally planned for track work most weekends through early September but, in response to inquiries from Jamaica Plain News Thursday, clarified that the work schedule had been shortened:
Thanks Robert, we crossed ourselves up. The Forest Hills work originally scheduled to start this weekend was cancelled. The only work scheduled for this weekend is between Oak Grove and Sullivan. There is work between Forest Hills and Jackson Sq, but it is not this week.

Hello, that is correct. The Orange Line work on the weekends of June 30 – July 1 & July 7 – 8 between Oak Grove and Sullivan is the only scheduled project at this time.

The MBTA recommends you plan for additional time to your ride during this period.
