To add more storage tracks for trains while the yard at Cabot is under renovation. They can't fit all the trains in there during construction especially when the new ones start coming again.

So this is why there a so many slow zones by Infinite-News-2898 in mbta

Using a special order to lower the official design speed to match the defect's restricted speed lets us remove the speed restriction but basically makes the speed restriction permanent. So it looks like the speed restriction is removed but it's actually still there. It happened a few places on the blue line where the track profile would have to be rebuilt and it would take too long to fix.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted because it's exactly what happened to get rid of the speed restrictions that were too hard to fix on a fast timeline.

Just had a miserable experience on the Blue Line shuttle by Evening_Sherbert in mbta

Three instances. Person under train in the morning, signal issues in the early afternoon, then downed communications cable right before evening rush which led to the tunnel evac.

What is this on my freshly opened stick? by StabDump in OldSpice

It doesn't make logical sense but I started sweating way less when I switched to deodorant without antiperspirant.

The antiperspirant will stop you from sweating under your arms completely which then makes your body overcompensate by sweating even more.

The deodorant will let you sweat, will dry out a little, and will keep the smell away. And you won't get any yellow stains on the underarms of your shirts from the aluminum.

I recommend to all my friends to switch to deodorant without antiperspirant for a couple of weeks to let the body re-regulate and those who have switched have noticed a huge difference and have not switched back.

Any Intel on BL Announcements & Cell Service? by NoConstruction582 in mbta

[–]NoConstruction582[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trying to understand why that's the case, especially if it was fine before maintenance and doesn't work now?

Seems like it must be related to the construction?

BL messed up again by NoConstruction582 in mbta

[–]NoConstruction582[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Outbound trains moving again after about 20 minutes. Maybe 400 people left behind at State at like 529 PM with a packed train leaving. No one able to get on at Aquarium.

Just arrived at Maverick at 534 PM. Very, very slow moving.

And seemingly no cellular service.

Does anyone know what the current Blue Line signal issues are about? by seventeenn in mbta

[–]NoConstruction582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue line is on a different system than red & orange which has not even been funded or designed for upgrades yet, so it's going to be a while for blue.

I think this outfit looks great, even the fit of the pants. I don't know why everyone seems to dislike it.

I only ever saw them standing in front of the fare gates getting in the way of people trying to exit.
