The T announced another day of limited service along the subway line that runs through JP. There’ll be reduced service between Forest Hills and Wellington. And only one train will run between Wellington and Oak Grove.
UPDATE: Rail service is also cancelled all day Tuesday. Only buses will run, and those will be on snow routes.
