How can they expect the trains to run on time ...

When they can't even get the clocks to work right?

Waiting for the 5:52 Haverhill train at North Station tonight, I noticed a message appear on the normally blank platform information signs. It read:

ATTENTION PASSENGERS. THE CLOCK ON THE BOARDS IS SLOW. THE TIME DISPLAYED IS APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE BEHIND. WE ARE WORKING TO FIX THE PROBLEM ASAP

This board has a tendency to jump to atlantic time, then to central, back to eastern, etc. when they change something. No clue as to why.

Doesn't explain the amazing disappearing train runs - the ones that don't happen or run even though they are scheduled - either.

I actually miss the old black and white TV monitors as they were always accurate.

The new board does an awful job in telling passengers that certain Haverhill trains run via the Lowell line and not through Malden and Melrose.

and don't get me going on the new boards at South Station.
