An Amesbury woman who suffered a fractured skull and pelvis and had to have part of her leg amputated due after falling under a Green Line trolley in 2023 that had begun pulling out of BU Central last week sued the MBTA for negligence, saying the operators of the two-car train failed to check to make sure the outside of the train was clear before starting to leave the stop.

The MBTA is reminding Green Line riders that the B Line will be shut between Boston College and Babcock Street between Aug. 2 and 11 for some of those accelerated track repair sessions.

Bustitution, of course, except the buses won't stop at Allston Street, Griggs Street or Packards Corner for accessibility reasons.

A roving UHub photographer couldn't help but notice the googly-eyed tyke in an ad on the B Line this morning.

Tim Murphy reports this hawk rode a BC trolley from the Government Center loop to at least Arlington, where he snapped these photos, today, wonders if anybody had the heart to tell the hawk that BC is probably the wrong school for it.

The MBTA reports B Line delays of up to 15 minutes due to a trolley that got to BU Central and then would go no further.

Around 8:45 a.m., Boston's Leslie Knope reported this potentially fowl problem on the Green Line in Brighton, but based on the lack of T alerts, the gaggle was gone by the time any trolleys pulled through.

The MBTA switched back to bustitution between Copley and Babcock Street on the B Line this morning after a trolley derailed near Kenmore Square shortly before 9 a.m. Also:

Cleveland Circle and Riverside trains will terminate at Kenmore. Westbound service will be rerouted to the E Branch at Copley. Riders can also use local bus route 57 for service between Babcock St and Copley.

The Green Line's day started inauspiciously per an MBTA announcement at 5:59 a.m. about 20-minute delays due to an earlier deceased trolley at Chiswick Road in Brighton.

Transit Police report the B Line was knocked out of commission for about 45 minutes around 9 p.m. on Wednesday after a driver somehow wound up facing towards Newton on the inbound tracks at Commonwealth Avenue and St. Thomas More Road. The driver of the diminutive sedan told police "he took a wrong turn and ended up stuck on the tracks." No injuries, at least.

The MBTA announced it's running shuttle buses between BC and Washington Street due to "an overhead wire problem" near BC.
