We said earlier that the T may have to cut service drastically if the state doesn't help subsidize its budget. Now, the Globe adds details, and they are frightening. Commuter rail folks will never be able to get home after 7pm. Three stops each on the B and C lines will be gone. The E line will stop running past Brigham Circle and stop running altogether on weekends, with the C line going up to Lechmere to compensate. It's really quite a crazy collection of cuts. Full details from the Globe below and after the jump.
