Station Repairs

The MBTA deserves credit for working to get all the turnstiles up and running in time for Tuesday morning's commute.  Regular riders were probably aware that at least one of the suckers was out of order every day last week.  let's keep our fingers crossed that the machines survive the "running of the high school students" next week.

I do not like to use this venue to bash the T for a number of reasons, especially since there are plenty of better read venues for T-based invective.  I would like to get more feedback from readers about getting the morning train to pull into the station, rather than idle just south of the station.  A number of readers have recalled that this problem was discussed during the design review and we were assured that the train would pull into the station to allow passengers to get out of the cold.....
I hope that the extra fare would at least merit that level of service....I'm just saying that it is cold out there. If you feel the same way or recall the same promise, write a comment here or let the MBTA know.  ( I would direct you to a link but honestly the MBTA comment policy seems to be in flux these days)

I think that Tom is correct. The station seems to have a train at the platform every day this week when I start my commute. Great work T!

In recent weeks I have not experienced a weekday/weekend commute where the train idled outside of the station. They have been pulling into the station allowing commuters to board until the train is ready to leave the station.
