Well then.

Preston (newtrains.today) is working with our team at TransitMatters (TransitMatters Labs, or something, we haven't branded it yet) to take his code and develop a map/diagram to track new trains on the lines. We're near a beta test for it. Stay tuned!

If you can bring that database and map to archBoston, we would be golden. That is what we have needed for a LONG time and actually what some of us had planned (more on that later in a PM). Edit: Skyrise uses the same one (exact same template actually), so it seems like you've built something...

I know I said we've all seen and heard this before, but in the spirit of objectivity, I'm giving this a week before I wade further into this stay/go decision. If major changes are on the way "in the coming days," that signals to me we should have at least an outline of the proposed changes...

The T did no marketing for the overnight routes. The mega route never even had a map that was released to the public. No one knew it existed. Overnight was designed to fail. The late night and early morning were huge successes though. We at TransitMatters will be doing a postmortem on the...

Everything Justin said. Plus, we've heard this whole "major changes coming" thing a handful of times over the past decade before. Why is it going to be different this time?

The base/podium is truly a garish nightmare that doesn't transfer or communicate any of the language of the tower's facade. It's a horrible addition to the streetscape of the area. What a shame.

Literally The Kensington facade on the tower.

They claim the only delay from this is the Orange Line pilot train itself. AFAIK (and they are saying), everything is still on schedule.

The Alstom signal equipment fix (which held up the launch) was scheduled to be tested through this month, so hopefully that testing occurred, was successful and the cars will launch in June or July.

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Wow, I'm surprised that old news hadn't been posted here yet. That rumor came on the morning of the day that Mike Burns was fired (5/13). The next day, Bruce would be announced. And yeah, willing to believe anything is possible this time around...

Precisely.

The Somerville Community Path as presently designed is deeply unwelcoming to walkers as it's deep in the GLX/CR trench. It's essentially just a cycle track for getting around Somerville. People wanting to go for a stroll around Somerville should just stay at the surface on the sidewalk.

This is similar to how Berlin did it on Kleinprofil lines when they first switched to artics (U1, U2, U3) with Type HK.

There actually are Type 10 concept renders: Visually, they appear to be just chopped up Type 9s for the purpose of showing the flexible segments like products on the market for that presentation. It gives you an idea of the length and number of segments they are thinking will work best in...

The Somerville West Branch Library addition & renovation is now fully under construction on College Ave just outside Davis Sq.

We at TransitMatters will be studying this in more depth soon, as this is a core component to seeing our full-build Regional Rail vision happen.

HelloBostonHi is correct. The "Active Route Map" like NYC option was not pursued in favor of the "LCD" option which can show the active route map digitally anyway plus ads and other info. We are still getting active route info, just not on a long board with the LEDs. Also, the OL mockup...

Great finds. Appreciate you digging through the specs.
