Not the best result- that would be no breakdowns- but all told not the worst result.

There was a Blue Line breakdown this morning among others

4:15 and outbound trains are still running 20+ mins apart.

Headways like that a few hours after the breakdown is not excusable. I defer on this.

If you don't count Keolis that is

Multiple mechanical failures and cancellations on the Haverhill line today alone.

Oh, the commuter rail is a different beast

I cannot believe that the new locomotives are the worst performing, but there we are.
