at 4 pm and there were about 10-15 minute delays but looks like it got worse.

Barely better up north. Every short turn (Littleton, Reading, Beverly) cancelled. A Rockport and multiple Lowells cancelled. And I just got the alert that both the 4:30 and 6:09 inbounds from Haverhill are still trying to get back in. The first is now 3-4 hours late.

How did the Fairmount Line do today?

I was faced with the choice of "drive or T" today.

I live in Dorchester, work near South Station. I'm lucky enough to have work parking, which is the only thing that makes driving a viable option at any time.

It was a tough choice this morning. Drive - and be faced with the prospect of crummy and even unsafe traffic & weather, and the prospect of having to dig my way back into my parking spot whenever I get home? T - and accept the prospect of service cancellations and massive delays.

I drove.

Is there a website anywhere - maybe an transit-interested blog, maybe a mandatory performance reporting section on the T website - that keeps a log of T performance? Delays, cancellations, types of incidents?

I still miss the old flippy sign. Frankfurt Airport still has them, and whenever I'm there, I enjoy watching them change.

Does the South Station electronic sign still make useless noise pollution in imitation of the flipping noise? Someone thought it would help people notice when the sign changed, but it ended up making an awful droning noise nonstop.

are called "Solari Boards", after the Solari company of Udine, Italy, who made them.
