If it's not the trains or the tracks, what else could go wrong on the T? Try the platforms. The MBTA reports outbound Blue Line trains are bypassing Suffolk Downs because of "a platform maintenance issue," which probably means something on the platform is no longer safe. Riders can take the train to Beachmont, then head over to the other side to get off at the inbound side of Suffolk Downs.

Shortly after 10 a.m., the MBTA reported Blue Line delays of 10 minutes this morning after a vandalized train had to be taken out of service at Wonderland.

Robert Alvarez was a bit perplexed by this wall at the Kelly's in Terminal B at Logan: "Congratulations to Revere on being annexed by Boston?"

Or maybe they're making a statement, that East Boston is really Boston's Revere Beach? But if so, maybe Sullivan's could start advertising itself as being from Revere's Castle Island?

Your money's no good on the Blue Line, at least through Aug. 31.

Other Sumner Tunnel alternatives.
