For example, if three cars in a row arrived at Lechmere from Cleveland Circle and none from Arborway because of some backup on Huntington Avenue, then instead of sending all three Beacon Street cars back to Cleveland Circle, the starter could send one to Arborway instead. Later, when a bunch of Arborway cars came in together, the starter might send one out Beacon Street. At least that was my understanding.
