On Friday I decided to take the train from Providence at 6:35 to Gillette Stadium for the preseason game against Tampa Bay. The posted time of arrival at Gillette was 7:40; which was fine given game time at 8. However, the train crawled through Mass ariving at the stadium at 7:59. Following the walk across the lot, the jam at security, and the trek to our seats, Brady had already completed his first 11 passes and was off the field for the night. Train service better improve before the regular season starts.
