Jennifer O reports from a Braintree-bound Red Line train that is just sitting on the tracks just past JFK/UMass:
T employee just opened door at the end of the car and said “Is everything OK in here? No smoke or big bangs?” We are all like “What? No.” He closes door and walks away. What!?! What is going on?!?
Whatever it is probably, maybe, who knows, is unrelated to the train with the door problems at South Station that caused 20-minute delays not much earlier.

What happened to the intercom?

The personal touch is nice, but shouldn't the driver announce that a car by car inspection is underway?
Does the intercom ever work?

Should be aggressively demanding answers from the Department of Transportation for the misery they've inflicted on transit riders. No end in sight is not remotely acceptable. Redline trains are, on average, going 5 miles an hour with rare exception. They now shut down trains weekdays at 8:45 pm , substitute bus clusterfuk. Commuter trains going south are also stopped after 7:30pm with bus substitution. Weekends both Sunday and commuter rail are shut down. Traffic I-93 is fierce enough already. Not a peep from our political "leaders".
