MBTA announces Orange Line trains to continue to run slower than before its month-long makeover shutdown

The T continues to Q straphangers.

Yesterday the MBTA announced that the now running even slower Orange Line rail service after its rail operations were recently shutdown for a month-long emergency maintenance makeover that was promised would fix things, will instead continue to run slow into December.

In turn, the touts in the Quincy Quarry Newsroom thus set Super Bowl LVII Sunday as the over/under break date for when Orange Line trains might be actually be operating at something at least relatively close to the designed speeds for traveling along the Orange Line.

Not that anyone in Eastern Massachusetts even knows when the Super Bowl is scheduled to be played this year what with both the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers both sucking so far this season.

In any event, there is some good news for Quincy Mayor Thomas P, Koch over this latest T-up.

So far anyway.

To this point, not only has Mayor Koch avoided any rebuke over the problems with the Orange Line even though he is also both the decade long Chair of the MBTA Advisory Board as well as the senior member of the MBTA Board of Directors, so far the media in general and local straphangers in particular have yet to unload on him over the fact that service along the Red Line is also running slower in spite of its also experiencing emergency maintenance work spread out mostly overnight and during weekends in recent months.

How much longer he can duck long overdue umbrage, however, remains to be seen.
