agreed with the fares on weekends. There is so much potential that could be done with the CR on weekends

I know 808 is in Pawtucket, and is used for 825 and then the 834/835 turns. After 835 it lays over in Pawtucket.

The website is already encouraging fans to buy CharlieTickets in advance.According to an email the MBTA sent out earlier, the "plan" is for people to just magically alter their schedule to take early trains that are supposedly less crowded. Given my experience on the 804 which is routinely short a car or a crew member and is standing room only by the time it leaves Sharon, I expect tomorrow to be a colossal disaster systemwide.
I'm annoyed that I can't work from home tomorrow and miss the crowds, but not too concerned about this one. It's hardly the first time Boston's hosted such a parade in recent years - and the 2015 one had all that snow to deal with too!
