Take a look outside, Boston. The deluge of rain continues upon our fair city. The downpour as become so intense, and the ground as accumulated so much water, that the Green Line D Branch is susceptible to flooding. Until further notice, Green Line service is suspended between Kenmore and Fenway Stations in both directions.
“Due to the rising levels of the Muddy River, the MBTA is building a barricade of sand bags in front of the Green Line tunnel portal just east of Fenway Station,” said MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo. “Buses are providing replacement service until further notice.”
It’s been a tough Tuesday for the Green Line. Just this morning, a door fell off a Green Line car while moving between Boylston Street and Park Street. A Green Line inspector now faces disciplinary action because the door actually fell off due to his or her negligence – they failed to properly close and secure the door.
The latest flooding is hardly lost on usually disgruntled MBTA riders, and they’ve taken to Twitter to air their grievances per usual.
For those about to hop on the T, keep in remember these delays are on the D Branch between Kenmore and Fenway Stations.
I would nooooooot want to be the MBTA’s social media team right now
