Sen. Kerry, Rep. McGovern and Lt. Gov. Murray ended up riding the train into Boston, as it made it to Worcester on time.
Here’s the takeaway:
Worcester-Boston gets 5 more daily round trips, timed perfectly for commuters into Boston.
The trains are added regardless of the negotiations over liability, which are ongoing. If an agreement isn’t [...]
It’s important to note that this isn’t a done deal yet: the issue of liability, long a main sticking point, is still in play.
UPDATE: While liability is still an issue, Lt. Gov. Tim Murray tells us that the trains will be added regardless.
What do they get? It looks like the double height clearance the state is going to help construct is a major piece for CSX
Quick update: We just checked service advisories and it looks like the train to Worcester that will carry the pols to Boston is on time.
UPDATE: The train did arrive on time, and the pols rode in to Boston with aides in tow.
Little shoutout to armsby abbey and mcfaddens re: the late sox game last night.
Starting right now. The word is that Lt. Gov. Murray, Congressman McGovern, and Senator Kerry will be driving into Boston as the 8:30 train will be delayed by a truck stuck under a train bridge in Westborough.
