Those new diesels can't come soon enough for Worcester Line riders

LifeStar7 tweets from a Worcester Line train with a diesel that died in Natick. He reports it took 40 minutes for the next train to arrive and for crews to latch the two trains together so the dead train could be pushed into town (and, of course, that means trains behind those two will likely also be late).

Steve Safran, on the same train, tweets they're now looking at getting into South Station an hour late.

...no announcement was made at subsequent stops for ages. At Wellesley Hills the signboard lit up twenty minutes after the train was due telling us it was seven minutes away, later upgraded to forty minutes away. There was a mass exodus to the parking lot. I found my drive in on the Pike quick and pleasant. Why even bother with the Commuter Rail with service like this?
