MBTA Green Line Derailment Prompts Shuttle Bus Service Near Kenmore
A westbound Green Line B-branch trolley derailed near Kenmore Station, prompting the MBTA to suspend trolley services and provide shuttle buses. No injuries were reported among the estimated 25 passengers, and service was suspended for over eight hours as engineers re-railed the trolley. The MBTA had conducted rigorous testing prior to reopening the Green Line B-branch after construction work. This incident caused frustration for riders, particularly those awaiting the return of service during construction, and the MBTA is diligently working to restore regularly scheduled service and investigate the cause.
