Newburyport/Rockport line

T tells some commuters to drive to work today

30 to 60 minute delays on the Newburyport/Rockport Line; T advisory says "alternate transportation to avoid delay." The notice came too late for Brian Krisler, who tweets:

The 7am inbound train broken down. After 25 min wait, the conductor instructed everyone to drive to Beverly.

Barbara Glavin tweets:

So my Rockport train is crammed full, like Green line! Left folks on the platform in Salem.

Mitch Blum tweets:

bummy kid shaking down commuters for cash on the [Newburyport/Rockport] train at N. Station...he scored $11.

Pity the poor commuters on the Newburyport/Rockport line

Blecch

Hmm, wonder if that pesky bridge in Beverly is broken again. Can somebody please go kick it? Some trains delayed up to an hour; others simply canceled. Ten of the 21 alerts on the MBTA board right now are from that line.
