I think the Wedgemere and Mishawum Stations should both be shut down in exchange for a Montvale Station, which could also alternatively be named East Woburn or Woburn/Stoneham (if it is that close to the border, Google Maps doesn't show city borders).
Mishawum suffers from low ridership, and Wedgemere already has nearby Winchester Center station to serve as an alternative for riders, and with a potential New Hampshire Extension on the horizon, speeding up trip times on the New Hampshire Route by axing these two stops in exchange for one would be a good move for the MBTA.
