Out of curiosity, has any one taken the red line from Wollaston to South Station since the speed restrictions came into play.. especially during rush hour?

I see the article in the forum about it taking an extra 40 minutes but wanted to see if I could confirm from a rider?

Thank you in advance!!

It took from 5:32am -6:20am to travel from Quincy Center to South Station. About ten minutes was from Quincy Center to Wollaston and another five was waiting at Broadway because someone entered the track area ahead of us. I don’t know if it was a medical issue or just some asshole.

Wow thank you! It's not ideal but also not as bad as I thought thankfully.

Thank you!! This is good to know. It's so unpredictable but not AS BAD as I had thought but still. The news reports had me thinking over an hour.

Worth pointing out that is just the average- individual trains may take longer if something else breaks or something happens on the line, so please plan accordingly
