The new Orange Line MBTA trains yet again taken out of service.
The problem is said to be with the new trains’ bolsters.
Apparently the T cannot even get seat cushions right.
The MBTA said in a tweet Tuesday that the move is temporary and that it will not impact morning service.
The new Orange Line trains have been temporarily taken out of service. Inspectors identified a fault with the bolsters which is being corrected to ensure the vehicles are reliable & safe for the duration of their service lives. We expect to return them to service later this week.

On the other hand, the new trains do look to be honoring the T’s historic record of “reliability.”
This is the third time the new train cars have been pulled out of service. Last September there were issues with the doors and then in December there were unusual noise issues the new trains’ undercarriage.
