Aside from one Commuter Rail line, the MBTA’s various lines should be back on track Wednesday.

After the Greater Boston area was pummeled with snow earlier this week, the MBTA anticipates it will be mostly back to normal Wednesday.

Regular weekday service will resume across all lines, with the exception of the Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail line, which will run on a modified weekday schedule, according to the MBTA. The modified schedule can be found here.

“I want to thank MBTA employees for their around-the-clock work that allowed us to maintain transit service for the riders who depend on it,” MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng said in a statement. “On behalf of the T, I also want to express gratitude to our riders for their patience and understanding as we worked tirelessly to recover from this historic storm.”

Keolis Commuter Services, the MBTA’s Commuter Rail operator, said the reduced Fall River/New Bedford schedule is due to the South Coast being “hit the hardest” by the storm.

“Reduced service due to weather conditions is designed to meet ridership demand and provide travel options to essential workers while limiting the exposure of Commuter Rail trains to storm conditions and providing adequate access to storm clean-up crews,” the operator said. “Passengers should plan extra time for their travel and use caution on platforms, in parking lots, and when boarding or exiting a train.”

Though the normal schedules will return, any seasoned Boston commuter knows that the aftermath of a storm brings its fair share of delays. The MBTA is continuing clean-up efforts and has encouraged people to plan for extra time in their commutes, according to the statement.
