i'm hearing of massive deLays, but i can't find any news about why that is, or how bad the deLays are.

1. I'm looking all over to find info for you

but not having any luck.

Maybe tonight is a good night to find a local pub and drink a martini or two before trying to brave the hoards.

2. It was awful!

We're home now...I waited over an hour at JFK/UMASS...trains were moving northbound, but not south. And the train I did get was full to capacity. And it was so hot....Me and my 50 lb backpack. Yucko. x(

Thanks for looking sweetie! :pals:

3. heard it on the radio news on the way home

a guess a transformer blew and it shut down the whole line for pretty much the whole day. They said it was up and running for rush hour.

I'm sorry you guys had such a tough time of it.

4. Few things in life are such fun .

Stuck on a hot T platform for an hour, then jamming onto a train with a bunch of other sweaty, tired, impatient patrons. Oh, the memories...

At least your backpack could double as a shield.

Bad T days:
:puke:


Glad you finally made it home okay.

5. Orange Liner here.

The only problem I have is that 90% of the people who use the T are a BUNCH OF FUCKING SLOBS!!!

Fast food bags, plastic bottles, and that ten page Metro paper are scattered all over the floor every night. I wish Tom Menino or Deval Patrick would push the T police into giving
out littering tickets to these lazy fuckers.

:grr:

As to the Red Line, I think I read in the Globe recently that they're upgrading the switching system for the next few months.

6. This is true...

I was on a train on Wednesday, Red line, and there were drink cups all over the floor, and the whole car was one sticky mess. Yuck x(
