The normal set for the 512 is a 5 car flat (or maybe a bit bigger), but it is usually pretty tight by the time you get to the Wellesley's.2005 was the culprit this morning in Readville in the wee morning hours....was there when I left and in the same spot with 5 flats when I returned about 930am
Of course, the question is who got screwed out of this bigger set? Apparently, the original set for 512 broke down out of Readville. And then, the backup set also had a mechanical. So they routed the 1705 set to Worcester, screwing the Providence riders out of their normal 6 car set. Play the wa-wa-trombones.
