One time I wanted to go up to Lechmere and back just to see Medford test trains terminating there, so I got off a northbound D train, waited around a bit, and got a southbound E without exiting the platform. Technically this could be considered fare evading, because I got off at a station...

That should be covered by a GL extension to Porter, right?

a "small number" of years ago, Ari was citing MassDOT's then $750 million claims as unreasonably high. With inflation, that's nearly $950 million today, so... the estimate has gone down? Yay?

:cry:

Don't worry guys, we reopened the Suffolk Downs bridge!

I'm told the 3100 series has extended range capabilities, contrary to what NETransit suggests.

Any ideas why (and how) there are hybrids in the Seaport tunnel right now...? (straight XDE40s, not XDE60 with long range battery or whatever the MBTA is pushing)

A train from Riverside today featured "Lechmere" signs/announcements while countdown clocks displayed Union Sq. Operator only clarified at Lechmere that the train was indeed going to Union Sq. Unrelated but 3647 featured new headsigns... but no audible announcements. Also, operator had to get...

Some station work out of the blue. Both stations are listed on this page as "in planning".

Yep: for Harbor Tunnel Work On a related note, I find it really funny that the Suffolk Downs pedestrian footbridge is still closed, despite that other Blue Line shutdown.

Took one ride recently, just as slow as always. Did they say that the shutdown would touch the viaduct? Thought it was about Medford work and Government Center Garage work. Amateur data analysis from the MBTA Performance API shows a benchmark Science Park -> Lechmere of 180 seconds, with trips...

It's certainly creative! My mind goes to one thing: rich D branch passengers objecting to being routed through Roxbury Crossing and Nubian...

GLT docs from a while ago said three 9 day shutdowns, so I'd imagine that's what's correct.

The schedule is now posted here. Rode it today, 6:30 from Lewis Wharf. No one with me, 4 people heading back, though two of them tried to get on and were told they needed a ticket and had to mess around mTicket for a bit. The thing that struck me is how *tiny* the boat is compared to the rest...

One thing I've heard cited a lot is bikes, but I'd imagine that doesn't account for everything.

One thing that gets lost in this hype about 30 minute service all day, which is admittedly AMAZING, is that Sunday service was cut as a result of driver shortages. That'd be really nice to have return, if only to be able to state that the only bus in Lowell on Sundays is operated by the MVRTA...

Hey, awesome work! Know nothing about cartography, so can't help on that front, but visually, looks great! A few corrections: - Southborough and Amory Street are misspelled - Natick Center is not accessible - Union Sq is missing labels Below are just updates: - Foxboro gets full-ish service...

I thought this statement from former Chief Safety Officer Ron Nickle's statement was quite apt...

Trains are planning to stop at Oak Grove. Also, I finally got a still-terrible-but-at-least-not-blurry photo of the alert, this time at Copley from a train.
