Given that my riding of the MBTA is to take a really steep nosedive, I'll be changing the subject to more generally about trains, many in the Boston area, but Amtrak and others too. Keeping the same name and stuff, too lazy to change that all.

The Daily Report

Today's travels on the T are not yet over, but so what. This morning it was the turn of the Orange Line to be nasty. Arriving at Oak Grove this morning, it was plain and obvious that not only were there no trains, there hadn't even been one in some time. What a start to a frigid monday, eh? After five years, er, minutes, or so, the speaker goes *ping* "the next orange line train to oak grove does not take customers, pleas stand behind the yellow line". Bad choice for the speaker, especially as it was not actually out of service. The tardiness of the train did result in a massive overcrowding, and therefore created more delays, though not of a terrible amount. Having finished with the trials of the day, the Green Line was surprisingly good, with a lightly loaded Lechmere LRV waiting, though I went only as far as Park Street. More Updates to follow if conditions warrant.

And so it goes, another day riding forever 'neath the streets of boston.
