Severe Weather To Reduce Commuter Rail Schedule [Poll]

MBTA to run 23 percent fewer trains.

 

Taking the train during severe storms has become less of an option.

The MBTA will cut 23 percent of its commuter rail schedule during severe weather, the Boston Globe reports today.

"What we learned from last year is trying to maintain a full schedule will be difficult for us in a severe storm, both on subway and commuter rail," MBTA Acting General Manager Jonathan R. Davis told the Globe.

The storm schedule is posted here.

Mansfield's commuter rail station is along the Providence-Stoughton line.
