The idea
Retrack the Savin Hill Station so Braintree trains can stop there.
Who it helps and why
The Braintree extension explicitly avoided allowing Dorchester residents to access the suburbs through the new line, so people here still have to wait twice as long as we should, both coming home and going into town.
