On three occasions in the past two months a green line train altered its destination during the run. The third one is the most weird.
From North Station, I wanted to go to Coolidge Corner. The first train had a destination of Reservoir. ??? I figured that I'd change trains at Kenmore on the off-chance that they short-turn a C train at Government Center or Park Street. When the train arrived at Copley, the operator announced that the destination was now Cleveland Circle.
From Waban, I boarded a D train to Government Center. Somewhere around Copley, the destination was changed to North Station.
And this one still baffles me. Last Saturday, I boarded an E train at Northeastern. It was a Lechmere train, although I only wanted to go to Government Center. At Park Street, the operator announced that the train would terminate at Government Center. Our 2-car train pulled to the far end of GC. Another 2-car train pulled in behind us. Our operator told everyone to leave the train. He ushered passengers to the 2nd train which was marked Lechmere. The train on which I had arrived looped at GC and was a D train when westbound. Our operator boarded the 2nd train and drove it to Lechmere.
