Rode the Orange Line for the first time in a while from Chinatown to Oak Grove and was actually pleasantly surprised? Seems like only a few very small slow zones left northbound based on the MBTA's dashboard, and overall slow zone delays on the OL have dropped significantly in the last few weeks. New trains are the norm now, and Oak Grove actually seemed fairly clean and nice? Was it renovated recently?
Just a glimmer of hope in what is otherwise a frustrating time as someone who lives along the Red Line...
The Orange Line is faster now over that stretch than it has been since before the global speed restrictions were put in place two months ago:
In fact, the entire Orange Line northbound is faster now than it has been since before the global speed restrictions were put in place two months ago:
Still not quite as speedy as early March, and we should definitely keep our eye on the prize of zero slow zones:
That being said, we appear to have weathered the worst of this particular storm.
