Rain confuses the trains

35 minutes to get from Newton Highlands to Reservoir.

Meanwhile, over at the Red Line, one rider wonders: Dear red line, why r u pretending to be the B line today?? And another declares: Red is the new Green.

Early disabled train @ Reservoir

By Allstonian on Fri, 03/27/2009 - 9:22am.

I got two T-alert emails timestamped 4:42am (which is BEFORE the first inbound run) saying that the D line had 20-25 minute delays due to a disabled train at Reservoir.

and a signal problem at Alewife for the red line

Perfect! Just in time for those who need to get to work on Friday.

I think most of your impatient douchebags are stuck in some time warp. The morning commute was fine. Train came right on time at Beaconsfield, crowded but still comfortable, got to Park Street, and hopped on a Red line that was also only moderately crowded to Harvard.

You know, sometimes when your life consists of tweeting from your blackberry, rushing in to ignore your actual work and blog about how bad your commute is, your life is so empty that a minute can feel like an hour.

It's strange, I had a flawless, 25-minute ride on the C line today. The first drama-free commute in ages.
I was highly suspicious, but I'm almost relieved to hear things were SNAFU'd elsewhere.

Ha, me too. The ride from

Ha, me too. The ride from Cleveland Circle to Govt. Center took 35-40 minutes, and wasn't very crowded either.
