The MBTA reports that over the weekend it inspected ceiling tiles between Central and Andrew this weekend to make sure none are about to fall on riders' heads.

I wonder if the T will ever address Lake Shawmut, at the base of the stairs on the outbound side of Shawmut Station .

There’s always been a puddle there , but now the puddle is a lake , and has expanded so much that they blocked off the wettest part with fencing, forcing everyone into a single file to get to the crumbling stairs.
