How much help do the trains need?

December 24, 2014

I don't know anything about the mechanics of trains or subways.  However, in the past few weeks, I have noticed that the train to and from Quincy seems frequently to list to one side or the other of the track.

The MBTA has quietly been repairing parts of the subway since at least the time when I got to Boston in 2011.  Would the public be horrified to know just how much repair the entire subway system needs?  Are people's lives in danger?

Sometimes, the trains also seem to be going too fast.  How much training do the conductors get?
