Yest...I get the T alerts notifications by email... Yesterday apparently Arlington was a locus of issues.<BR/><BR/>Green Line experiencing 10-15 min delays due to signal problems in the Arlington Station area. 2/17/2009 2:43 PM<BR/> Sent: 2/17/2009 2:44 PM<BR/><BR/>Green Line service is experiencing 10-15 min delays due to an ill passenger on a train at Arlington Station. 2/17/2009 5:46 PM<BR/><BR/>Green Line service is on or near schedule from the earlier delay caused by the ill passenger. 2/17/2009 6:54 PM<BR/> Sent: 2/17/2009 6:55 PM<BR/><BR/>Note they never ever sent an indication that the signal problem had cleared up. And I left work prior to receiving the ill passenger report. Upon walking down the long, long hallway from the Berkeley street entrance of Arlington station... And approaching the stairs to the outbound side and seeing them completely clogged, I peeked down the stairs and it was wall to wall people. A complete and utter deathtrap if any real emergency were to occur. I turned around immediately, and left the station to hail a cab.Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602507802530401335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212731363825964589.post-77695654392571359972009-02-07T23:43:00.000-05:002009-02-07T23:43:00.000-05:00A similar thing happened to me recently on the Red...A similar thing happened to me recently on the Red Line. As I was getting my things together at North Quincy to get off at the next stop, I thought the train had continued on without opening the doors for the car that I was in, but since I was preoccupied I thought that maybe I just missed it.<BR/><BR/>When the train got to Wollaston, the doors opened for every other car except mine. Luckily, I was right near the emergency call box and got a hold of one of the drivers. After about a 5 minutes wait, they ended up opening the doors between cars and letting us out through the other car.Offyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528345612847787915noreply@blogger.com
