Somerville train station, eastbound platform

Participants

Jevanyn

Plans

I commute to my current job by train. On returning from work, I'll walk over to the other platform and capture the flag.

Expedition

  • OMG it's in Somerville! Who wants to meet me at the train station at 6:15 and walk over? -- Jevanyn 09:54, 30 November 2012 (EST)
  • This expedition is good for a Walk geohash, since I walked from home to the station that morning, and a Public transport geohash achievement, since I did take the train back from Newark on the way to the site. It might also be a Deja Vu, since I was there before Friday. -- Jevanyn 09:34, 2 December 2012 (EST)
  • It's technically not an Admit one achievement, since you don't have to buy a ticket to go up to the platform. -- Jevanyn 09:35, 2 December 2012 (EST)
