Service Suspensions for MBTA Green Line

NEWTON, MA - The MBTA commuter rail is back on track after yesterday’s signal malfunction chaos but it looks like green line riders are not out of the woods yet.

The green line will not be running between Park Street and Haymarket in both directions this weekend or the weekend of March 5 and 6.

Service between Park and Haymarket will also be suspended both directions during nights this week.

The schedule for weekday service is as follows:

- Monday, Feb. 22: beginning after the conclusion of the Bruins game, approximately 11 p.m. to midnight
- Tuesday, Feb. 23: beginning at about 8:45 p.m.
- Wednesday, Feb. 24: beginning after the conclusion of the Celtics game, approximately 11 p.m.
- Thursday, Feb. 25: beginning after the conclusion of the Celtics game, approximately 10 p.m.

The service changes will allow MBTA crews to perform track and signal work and continue the Government Center Project.
