Green Lines

If it’s not one branch, it’s another. The B line was still broken at the end this morning, but as of now Bad Transit lists it as running on time. It took four days, but the sinkhole has apparently been filled. (Veronica heard that the sinkhole was caused by a water main break, but I hadn’t heard that one.) However,

There is in-and-outbound busing between Reservoir and Riverside on the D branch of the Green Line due to operational difficulties. Allow plenty of time for your ride. We apologize for the inconvenience.

According to my sources in Newton, the “operational difficulty” was two D-line trains crashing into each other in Newton Center this morning, with resulting injuries to passengers. How exactly this happened on a two-track train line is beyond me, but my sources speculate one of the trains rear-ended the other.

I bet at least one Breda train was involved.

[Update] The Metro reports that the B line problems were caused by a sewer line break.
