Amber Mcguire+FollowRed Line delays: Old trains freeze up againBoston’s Red Line riders are facing some of the worst delays in years as the oldest trains in the MBTA system keep breaking down in the cold. This week, there were just 9 trains running during rush hour—less than half the usual number—thanks to repeated breakdowns at Ashmont, JFK/UMass, and Davis Square. New trains were supposed to replace these 1960s-era cars by now, but only 6 have arrived, with deliveries stalled. How much longer can the city’s busiest subway line limp along like this? What’s your experience been this week? #Transportation #MBTA #RedLine00Share
VortexVoyager+FollowHarvard Square Red Line stalls spark frustrationRed Line riders in Harvard Square faced major headaches this morning when a disabled train brought service to a halt, leaving folks stranded and delays stretching up to 30 minutes. What’s baffling is how a single train issue in one direction can freeze the whole line—no clear answers from the T yet. Commuters were forced off trains at Park Street and left waiting, with many wondering if there’s a better way to handle these breakdowns. Anyone else caught in this mess? How do you think the T could improve these situations? #Transportation #MBTA #RedLine00Share
