We were psyched, because this is the first time we actually got an alert when it could do us some good.<BR/><BR/>We got to the station at 6:55 to take the 506, at 7:09am...and there was no one waiting. We thought that was really odd, since with the 6:50 train cancelled, there should have been a glut of uninformed, grumpy riders waiting.<BR/><BR/>We got on the train at 7:10am and it was pretty much empty. For some odd, odd reason our car had working wireless (first time in two months) and saw that a second email alert had arrived, at 6:52am, saying that the 504 was NO LONGER CANCELLED.<BR/><BR/>How messed up is that? If we did not subscribe to the T alerts we would have gotten to work on time today? Maybe have been in a crowded train though? How much more messed up can this "system" get?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-47094874184030479382008-08-07T12:22:00.000-04:002008-08-07T12:22:00.000-04:00I have no idea why the 504 was late but there was ...I have no idea why the 504 was late but there was something going on. I take the 502, between Southboro and Ashland we were told the train was going to run local from Framingham because the 504 was going to Worcester to rescue the 512. This was around 6:10 - the 512 doesn't even leave Worcester until 7:35. We were told again after the Ashland stop - and oh, by the way - we would be sitting in Framingham for 20 minutes since the 504 didn't leave until 6:50. Shortly after that we were told that our train would be express.... I have no idea what was going on with the 504 but logic would say to me - the 506 arrives in Framingham at 7:09 and is already a local - why make the 502 wait 20 minutes and make it a local when there's another local right behind it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-39549918758567885332008-08-07T08:54:00.000-04:002008-08-07T08:54:00.000-04:00The media loves Danny G. because he "reformed" the...The media loves Danny G. because he "reformed" the Registry of Motor Vehicles from the hack agency it was ... into the hack agency that it is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
