(that's what that 'extra' track in gov't center is called, right?)
They were running trains on it all this evening,and they had a little board out on that side of the platform instructing people which direction to certain trains when they got off it. There were actually lechemere bound trains on BOTH sides of the platform at the same time around 6pm, and when I came back through a little after 10, they ran a D train through it and back towards haymarket (so we had to transfer yet again at gov't center).
This seems a little odd to me, as I've never ever had a train end at gov't center coming from the NORTH. Is their use of it now possibly to gear up for the north station switchover or is there some other reason they're doing it? I couldn't really figure out what was going on tonight with it (nor could the mob of people trying to get north of haymarket at 6 ... at 10 it was a little more subdued, but people still had no idea why they were getting kicked off at gov't center on a D train).
