The MBTA is advising Red Line riders to leave an extra 20 minutes or so to get where they're going tomorrow because of the ongoing signal issues at JFK/UMass left over from the derailment last week.
Although T workers and contractors have done enough repairs to the tracks and third rail that Braintree riders no longer have to change at JFK/UMass, it's still anybody's guess when they'll be able to replace all the signal equipment the train took out on its off-track adventure, which means that switches still have to be thrown manually to get trains on the right tracks at JFK/UMass.
The signal issues mean that riders on the rest of the Red Line will continue to have to forego train-arrival information at their stations, because that system is normally uses information from the switch system.
Latest from the MBTA, which includes information on extra commuter-rail trains on Monday.
