MBTA forced to post: Orange Line once again toast

As it did this morning, the T is advising Orange Line riders to expect 15 minute delays because despite the alleged infusion of new trains from Springfield, it simply doesn't have enough trains to run even the limited service it began running a few months ago after the feds came down on them for working its dispatchers way too hard.

TransitMatters reports the T currently has just seven trains running on the Orange Line - the T's goal, even in an age of increased time between trains, was to have at least ten on the tracks.

just in time for The Usual Suspects to blame Healey for it.

Just like it was too early to blame Baker 8 years ago when the T was running at 50% on a good day, and just like it will be too early 8 years from now when whoever replaces Healey is dealing with a similarly crappy T.

Baker will be blamed for the T for all of eternity.
