OK, so yesterday afternoon I arrived at South Station for my afternoon train only to discover that it was "delayed". So was the Franklin train that was scheduled to depart a few minutes earlier. The voice on the PA said the train would be available for boarding as soon as it arrived at the station. But there were two spare sets of equipment sitting there, and as the platform got more and more crowded, a third set arrived. The fourth set to arrive became the Franklin train, and the fifth my train.
But why couldn't they have assigned any of the train sets already in the station? My train departed 10 minutes late.
