Blandford Street station is a surface-level light rail station on the MBTA's Green Line B branch located in Boston, Massachusetts. The station is located in the center median of Commonwealth Avenue at Silber Way and Blandford Mall, about 2 blocks west of Kenmore Square, near the east end of Boston University. The station consists of two low side platforms, which serve the B branch's two tracks. The station is the first station outbound on the B branch after it splits off from the C and D branches at Kenmore.
Blandford Street is the seventh-busiest surface stop on the B branch, averaging 1,540 boardings per weekday in 2011. The MBTA plans to close the stop in the late 2020s because it would not be possible to make it accessible.
