Does anybody really know what time it is? Not at Forest Hills, they don't

UPDATE: The T's fixed the digital clocks, at least - when I got back to Forest Hills at 3:59 p.m., they read 3:59. The giant hanging clocks are still an hour behind, though.

I got to Forest Hills around what I think was 12:30 p.m. today for a trip downtown. The large ceiling clocks inside the main part of the station all read 11:30. The clock above the stairs down to the platform read 12:30. The digital clocks on the platform read 1:30.

No doubt they also had a clock set to the year 2001 - which would explain Beth Bresnahan's tweet this afternoon:

Must laugh about the lady w/baby who approached me in D'town Xing yelling "Oh my god, can you help me? What happened to Filenes's Basement?"

Although I haven't checked in a while, that clock was wrong 100% of the time.

I've never actually looked at them for the time, just to admire their clock-towerishness, so I didn't look today, either.

The clocks on the clock tower are frequently wrong, although not always, which is nice. What is always true, is that the clock tower is no longer lit at night, even though there are lighting fixtures inside the station which are designed to light it. I think it would add considerably to the attractiveness of the tower, and the safety of the neighborhood. Does anyone know why the tower is never lit?

The four clock towers frequently display four different times. The one on the south side is usually close to correct. At least, the minute hand is.

The clock over the gates at Alewife is still an hour ahead. I noticed it getting off the train this afternoon.

It was about 10 minutes slow yesterday, while the Legacy Place clock was still stuck in daylight savings time (an hour back).
