Today will most likely be my last inbound commute for a few weeks. I'm slated to be traveling for business. Right now, my trip is on. But there is a chance it could get postponed due to the Internet outage plaguing some parts of the world including the Middle East and India. I guess a transcontinental cable got cut when a boat's anchor was dropped on it.
Back to my real time commute this morning on the Worcester-Framingham line. I'm still on the train.
The P510 inbound train (which originates in Framingham and hits every station between Framingham and South Station except for Yawkey Way) broke down. Since I took the P512 (which runs express from Framingham to Back Bay Station), my train became a local train and we have been stopping at every station between Framingham and Boston.
I'll write more about this morning's commute later. The train is packed!

All Inbound Morning Rush Hour Commutes are Delayed on the Worcester Line
All morning trains are delayed due to a "roadway" problem. What is that? An accident?
I hate the commuter rail today!
So, the 7:19 a.m. showed up to Grafton at 7:55 a.m.. I was on my way to my car to drive in, but heard the train so booked back to the platform.
All of the doors were shut, so passengers had to open them to board the train. There were no conductors to be seen to either explain the delay or collect passes.
The biggest issue is the fact that NO ONE made any announcements the entire trip, but especially to say the train became a local, so we've stopped at every station, including all of the Newton stops. No doubt the P508 turned into a local train because the P510 was delayed due to the P508 delays.
I am beyond irritated. Sure, I'll get $15.50 back in 6-8 weeks, but really, I just want to get to work on time.
I'm curious about what the "roadway" delayed in. In chatting with friends who drive to work, the Mass Pike, 495 and 128 were all "fine" this morning.
Thank you MBTA and MBCR for such fantastic service!
