Once again, the Red Line's slow; trains sit, barely go

More signal problems, this time at Alewife. J Patience reports:

I boarded at Park between 6 - 6:05. Now starting to stand by at Harvard. 6:47.

45 minutes from Park to Harvard at the height of rush hour is beyond outrageous. I'm amazed no responsible officials are stepping up to the plate. Two more years without new trains and a functioning signal system is an epic disaster.

As the trains age and other things start to happen. Just wait. You think its bad now, it's going to get a whole lot worse.

Shoddy...not "shotty."

(as in -- "shotty" is a shoddy way to spell "shoddy.")

I got on at Savin Hill at 6:00. The train stopped to "stand by" four times, each time for about 15 minutes. I got to Davis at 7:25, nearly an hour later than normal. People were ready to explode. When I went back to Davis around 9:15 to come home, they were still holding trains there. It's intolerable.

Is this some work-to-rule thing because of the proposed change concerning approving one's own overtime?

Right, because it's obvious the signal problems are caused by ____________.
