In the dark: Power issues affecting service on MBTA’s Green, Blue and Orange lines
Power issues are affecting service on the MBTA’s Green, Blue and Orange lines on Thursday morning, the transit agency said.
Shortly after 6:30 a.m., the T said that service was “standing by due to a power problem impacting our stations and signal system.” They said a short time later that personnel were working to move trains into stations and resolve the issue.
In an update posted around 7:30 a.m., the MBTA said Green, Blue and Orange line trains may continue to hold at stations and that T personnel are working to restore power.
The MBTA said Orange Line passengers can board Commuter Rail trains for free at Oak Grove, Malden Center, North Station, Back Bay, Ruggles and Forest Hills while service is disrupted. Blue Line passengers can use the SL3 Bus for alternate service from Airport to South Station.
No alternatives were given for Green Line passengers.
Delays were also reported Thursday morning on the MBTA Commuter Rail line from Providence due to a train with a mechanical issue.
