On my way into Harvard Sq. on a 66 bus tonight the radio was full of chatter about a breakdown. From what I could hear, a Silver Line unit had broken down inside the transitway and central control was directing other units to travel the wrong way through the tunnel to bypass the breakdown. I think the breakdown was at or near the Courthouse station. With two days to go, this doesn't bode well.
On a different note, I was surprised to hear the Silver Line (phase II at least) using the same radio channel as other busses. I'd have thought they would use the same channel as for trackless trolleys, which I'd think would be less crowded...

The Blue Line is good for Lynn, and Lynn is good for the Blue Line.
