Hell's bells: Red Line stopped due to coughing spells

Delays on the Red Line quickly went to "severe" when the Cambridge Fire Department ordered service halted to determine why several people came out of an inbound train coughing. After about ten minutes, firefighters could find nothing wrong and let service resume.

Ironically, just this morning, Transit Police and several other agencies held an exercise at the T's emergency training center on how to deal with a chemical release in a subway station.

Meanwhile, three 47 buses (full size MBTA) in a row, going down Norfolk from Broadway to Mass Ave in Central--never seen that one before. WTF?

Yo Moxie..... perhaps transit officials were running buses between closed red line stations to keep people moving to their desired destinations.
