Exactly what a Green Line rider might fear: Trapped on a dead trolley just before Lechmere
By adamg on Fri, 10/20/2023 - 5:20pm
Oh, come on! The day after the T general manager acknowledged massive track problems on the Green Line Extension, a trolley died between Science Park and Lechmere - and then the T kept the riders onboard for 90 minutes.
WCVB reports one of the brand-new Green Line trolleys suffered an embarrassing pantagraph problem.
Riders reported they were kept up in the air, both literally and figuratively for more than an hour before T workers finally began escorting them down the tracks (as videoed by a Globe reporter who happened to be on the trolley working on a followup to yesterday's news).
At 5:07 p.m., Dump Feet pleaded:
After an hour and a half stuck on the stopped train you think there might be at least ONE shuttle ready?
The T reports it is now running shuttle buses along both branches of the brand-new Green Line Extension.
News copters are, of course, circling the area like sharks after fresh chum.

Is this a good time
To point out that studios in Union Square start around $2,500 a month?
1993-4
A 4br just up Washington Street toward Kirkland was $300 monthly per room
Rent control
A friend of mine lived very near there and shared a 4br with three other people for about that price ... but it was a rent controlled unit.
Never get on the T …..
…. without using the restroom first. Because you never know ….

On the bright side…
Looks like the Community Path is so popular, they’ve already expanded it!
Pantagraph
They are an incredible speed metal band that only does transportation related songs.
Huge in Belgium.
Right
Their latest album.... "Pantomania" contains the songs
"Pour some axle grease on me"
"Snowmageddon It"
"Low headways bite"

It's fairly obvious with that song list.
Today’s Green Line SNAFU
