    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    The south side OL cars have been out in Cabot Yard the past couple of mornings. I could see some people in them today, so hopefully they are starting to do some kind of training. The end of the test track looks like it has a long way to go though.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    Was lucky to catch it this morning--this is exactly what I thought as well. You don't understand the difference until you actually ride it! I'd say my first thought was just how bright they are, quite a difference from the old fleet. @datadyne007 please tell Preston thanks for the website--I...

    Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Some Brockton news that seems relevant here: This spot is next door to the Campello station: 90+ apartments get zoning approval at Brockton towyard And F-Line just mentioned this spot a few posts up-thread...

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    Interesting comments about issues on the Old Colony lines in this article. I hadn't heard that they are looking at stopping Kingston and Greenbush trains in Braintree--was that the reason one of the rail study options showed a large reduction in ridership on those lines? Personally as someone...

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    In the airliners.net thread that atlantaden posted above, user VS4ever does a great job breaking out that information as it becomes available (monthly I believe). See https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1411815&start=900#p21368117 as an example.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Some minor bad news.... The Back Bay - South Station commuter rail trip is no longer free, they're back to charging zone 1A fares. The gentleman checking tickets said they weren't told about it until yesterday morning and said the employees weren't happy about the lack of notification to...

    Yeah, I said that a few weeks ago upthread but it got lost in other conversations. Anyway, the limo and taxi drivers will miss having easy access to Dunkin.

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    They have a schedule just for that service: Back Bay - South Station Spring 2019 As an Old Colony rider, my commute is a Kingston train to SS, then walk over a few tracks to the next outgoing train (usually to Wickford but if we're late, I'll grab an Ashland train), and I hop off at BB. I do...

    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    A friend that works at JH tells me that they are going to sit on this one since they don't need the space right now. When they cleared out of the Seaport building, a lot of people transitioned to working remotely full-time, so they were able to fit everyone into the two existing Back Bay...

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    Even worse--we Old Colony riders know our trains will be on tracks 11-13 about 90% of the time, so instead of waiting under the board in the station, we wait at the end of the platform instead. It's a mess, and it happens only because we tend to have everyone worried that they won't get a seat...

    I've been told by some of my limo-driving friends that this is the new gas station to replace the existing station, which will be demolished for the terminal E expansion project.

    Quincy Center Redevelopment

    Quincy considers requiring roads money from developers They're looking to establish a fund to collect a 1% fee against a developer's construction costs for traffic and parking. It will be a home-rule petition, so it could take a while to get through state gov't. Could any of this money go to...

    Thanks--should have added, it appears they're using the same themes/colors as the C-E connector.

    While I didn't have time to walk all the way down the corridor, it appears that the connector in B between the main AA gates and gates B37/38 is now open. I could clearly see all the way from the AA food court area to those gates yesterday--sorry I didn't take a pic!
