Below is a press release from the MBTA:
BOSTON, MA — The MBTA recently announced service changes in February on the Lowell Commuter Rail line. The MBTA will continue working to improve service reliability across the system, recognizing the challenges service changes cause for riders. The MBTA encourages riders to use alternative shuttle bus options available.
Riders can also find more information on service changes through in-station signage, in-station public announcements, and at mbta.com/alerts. Transit Ambassadors and MBTA staff will be available on-site to offer information and assistance during these service changes. Riders are encouraged to subscribe to T-Alerts or to follow the MBTA on X (the site formerly known as Twitter) @MBTA, @MBTA_CR, and @MBTA_CR_Alerts for up-to-date service information.
On the Lowell Commuter Rail Line:
- Lowell Commuter Rail Line service will be suspended between Lowell and North Station from start to end of service during the weekend of February 10-11.
- Free and accessible shuttle buses will replace service between Lowell and North Station. A dedicated diversion schedule will be in effect and available on mbta.com soon.
- This service change allows crews to perform Automatic Train Control (ATC) work. ATC is a federally mandated safety system that sends signals to trains about potentially unsafe conditions, automatically slowing and stopping a train if needed.
The MBTA apologizes for the inconvenience of these scheduled service changes and appreciates the understanding and patience of riders as this critical and necessary work to maintain, upgrade, and modernize the system takes place.
