MBTA adds service for Stanley Cup victory parade

The MBTA will add extra subway service on all lines for Saturday?s celebration of the Boston Bruins? Stanley Cup championship.

Work on the Old Colony rail line will stop long enough to allow for service on a Saturday schedule. Taunton Senator Marc R. Pacheco and other? legislators sent a letter Thursday to MBTA General Manager Richard Davey requesting that train or bus service be available for the parade.

Service will be provided at near rush-hour levels all day, providing more frequent service before, during, and after the parade.

The MBTA expects the large crowds to cause delays.

Extra police will patrol the system throughout the day.

Because the celebration will begin at TD Garden at 11 a.m., riders are urged to avoid North Station and to use Haymarket, Government Center, Park Street and Downtown Crossing instead.

Commuter rail service will operate on a Saturday schedule, with extra coaches. Extra commuter rail trains will be on standby.

The 9, 10, 39, 43, 55, 92, 93 and 504 buses will be detoured as necessary.

Green line shuttle replacement service between North Station and Lechmere will also be detoured as necessary.
