so yesterday at gov't center they had the normal outbound blue line platform closed off with caution tape, and there were like three or four T employees telling people that the inbound track was going to be for outbound trains too. Instead of running the trains around the bowdoin loop and coming back to the other side of the platform they just reversed the direction of the train and took it back out from the inbound platform.
Anyone have any idea why? In a perfect world it would be to begin work on the new gov't center station, but I seriously doubt that's the case.
Additionally, at Park Street they closed the normal entrance to the green line westbound trains and you had to go down the other side and cut through the red line to get to them (which was a huge mess with everyone trying to cram onto the red line in the way). I'm thinking they were just doing repairs on the stairs or escalator or both?
but did they really have to close the entire entrance off for that?
