The MBTA plans to aggressively target the Red and Blue Lines in April, in terms of addressing speed restrictions during evening and weekend shutdowns.
The MBTA is walking back a suggestion that it would soon get rid of some slow zones on the Green Line after tests Saturday morning revealed the need to keep the speed restrictions in place.

With train service still running at diminished levels, staffing efforts in the MBTA's operations control center have plateaued since December, and the agency will continue to offer a $10,000 sign-on bonus through June to try and attract the dispatchers critical to reversing months-long service cuts.
