Some projects really seem to be inexplicably slow, videlicet, the new "Platform C" at Springfield Union Station (SPG). In June 2016, MassLive reported that "everything but the platform will be completed in December and open in January 2017 …" and that a six-inch ADA discrepancy "puts construction back six months, but only for Platform C." At present, not only is the station scheduled to reopen nearly six months late, the platform "will be completed by early 2018." So far, there has been no sign of any platform work in Springfield. Furthermore, the projects to construct 400-foot, ADA-compliant platforms at NHT and GFD—to have been completed two years ago—continue to languish.
