Green Line 'Power Issues' Prompt Delays - Again

Remember how last week the MBTA said power issues were causing delays on the Green line? It's baaack. But no word on why.

NEWTON, MA — The MBTA said a power problem was to blame for causing delays on the Green Line's C and D lines on Tuesday morning and Monday afternoon. Sound familiar? That's because late last week the MBTA said the same thing about delays on the D and C lines. But just why this is happening appears to be anyone's guess:

"MBTA power crews are actively diagnosing and working to resolve the cause of the issue on the Green Line C and D branches. Service updates will continue to be posted on the MBTA website and @MBTA on Twitter," wrote Deputy Press Secretary at MassDOT/MBTA Lisa Battiston in an email to Patch.

A rare sight in Brookline: Shuttle buses were brought in for much of Friday, running back and forth along Beacon Street.
