I chat with a lot of people about the commuter rail. Inevitably, many of them tell me about problems. Yesterday a woman told me about a memorable Tuesday on the Stoughton line.
The morning train (shortly before 8 AM) simply skipped the Ruggles stop completely. Track work, I presume, but apparently they didn't announce it until after the previous stop.
Then that evening the train (at around 5 PM) kept stopping to let other trains go by. When it reached Canton Junction it simply stopped...and then everyone was told to get off and wait for the next train.
So apparently the Franklin line isn't the only one that has problems. But then, we already knew that - didn't we?

When they first changed the schedule on the Worcester line a few months ago, the trains were running really smooth. They were on time or ahead of schedule. Lately, though, lots of issues - trains aren't always on time. It is hard too because the new schedule essentially pushed out the times - they didn't add times. So if you're late now, you're really late.
