I don't like those seats!! The backs are fine, but where you sit, it just isn't enough room there. Makes me feel like I'm gonna slide off!! Barely enough room for your butt to sit on!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

When it comes to the MBTA, it's not about looks, but rather it's about money. They are going to go with the cheapest thing that availibe. Sorry, but that is how they are. Like with the new Red & Orange Line cars, they could've gone for somethging that costs a little bit more, but they didn't...

I think that the mockup will be taken someplace & put on display. I remember the Type 6 mockup. It was given to the Seashore Trolley Museum.:(

The outside doors were changed to automatic bifolding ones, like most CVS stores havw now. It's about time!! Also, they replaced the water-damaged ceiling panels. :)

A T employee said that they may be tweaked. Even though the exterior will more than likely stay the same, some refinements will probably take place indoors, such as the seats, floor space & whatever else have you. If you just happen to be riding on a Type 9, youll see some of those refinements...

Here's more. The little boy playing with the accelerater was getting a kick out of it!! Hah!!!

I just came back home from viewing the mockup. Yes, the seats are hard plastic, but they feel so small, like there's only enough room for your butt!!! The backs are ok, but where there is floor space with them on each side, the floor looks narrow. One of the employees working for the T, says...

Tomorow & Friday, the MBTA will reveal the new Type 10 mockup to be put on display at City Hall Plaza!! You'll get the chance to see how it will look inside & out & you'll also be able to give your input about what you think. Your likes or dislikes. Come one, come all. This is your chance to...

There still are cusioned seats on the Commuter Rail, but as far as anything else, it's not happening. Even tables, it has!!!! :(

I think that I got a solution; Grab a small pillow & take it with you.Use it when riding the bus or train, then make sure that you have it with you on the way back home. I would!!! :)

Slower than cold molasses in January!!!

The forum seems to be running awfully slow. What is going on?!!

Lipstick on a pig. Hah!!!!

Jesus! Why can't I see this already?

I read that the trolley that derailed has been cleared & that the line is back open now. Also, the shuttle buses have stopped being used.

Well dude, Excuse me, but I've been away & just got back today. :(

Here's the accident that occurred on the GLX. A derailment! A few months ago, I rode that line & I had three kids with me!! So glad that we weren't on this i'll-fated ride!!!! :eek:

The truck is mainly operated with the GLX. The accident with thr truck & car probably occurred elsewhere on Memorial Drive.

And there's also the tracks, which have been said to be at or over 100 years old with many curves cutting down on the needed speed to reach 150 mph in some spots.
