no Fitchburg Line commuter rail service on weekends until Thanksgiving

from the T service alerts page:

Fitchburg Line: Service suspended btwn North Sta & Fitchburg on Sat & Sun thru Nov 23, 2014, (with the exception of Labor Day weekend, Aug 30-31) due to track improvements. No substitute buses provided

So, no weekend trips to Waltham, Brandeis, Lincoln, Concord, the Nashua River Rail Trail, or anywhere else along this line. I'm surprised the T can get away with not providing any substitute bus service to such a large area.

Here's an article on what the work is:

It doesn't explain the lack of replacement bus service.

Is that what you intended to link to? It doesn't mention the Fitchburg line at all.

Ah, buggers, I mistook Framingham for Fitchburg.
