‘Multiple disabled trains’ cause Red Line delays, T says
The MBTA warned of delays on the Red Line on Monday morning due to “multiple disabled trains” being removed from service.
In a post on X around 9:19 a.m., the T said delays of 30 minutes could be expected.
Passengers can also use the Commuter Rail for alternate service between Braintree and South Station, MBTA officials said.
“We did have some train issues on the Red Line in the Braintree area,” Phillip Eng, the T’s general manager and interim transportation secretary, said Monday morning. “I believe we’re on top of that and it’s clearing up.”
Ryan Coholan, the MBTA’s chief operating officer, said the issue was with some “older legacy equipment” that is in need of repairs. He added that the T is working with mechanical personnel “to make sure we’re in a good spot for this evening.”
