After a one-day business trip, I was back riding the rails this morning.
My commute was fine. The inbound P508 train arrived to South Station exactly on-time: 8:23 a.m. on the mark.
This morning's MBTA/MBCR train was crowded, though. I'll bet it will be packed on the way home too - it looks like the Easter vacation commuting has begun. Which is why I bet the airports were packed as well yesterday. But at least I made it out of Boston and back on my flights.
Fortunately I have tomorrow off for the Good Friday holiday. Which is good because I need to catch up on some home-related things.

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!
