Multiple unrelated incidents derail T service on rough Sunday night
A car accident and signal issues and shuttle buses — oh my!
Riders on two of the MBTA’s subway lines suffered delays and suspended service Sunday night following separate incidents ranging from a car accident to signal issues.
Service on the Green Line’s E branch was temporarily suspended between Heath Street and Brigham Circle after a car crash blocked the tracks at the Riverway stop, the T said in a post on X shortly after 5:30 p.m.
The transit agency put estimated delays at about 20 minutes and encouraged riders to use the 39 bus for alternate service. Around 7 p.m., the T said regular service between Heath Street and Brigham Circle had resumed, and residual delays had cleared by 7:30 p.m.
Later, shuttle buses briefly replaced service between the Red Line’s Quincy Adams and Braintree stations following reports of a signal problem at Braintree shortly before 8:30 p.m., the T said. The agency forecast delays of about 20 minutes.

By 8:48 p.m., the T said it was phasing the shuttle buses out after personnel addressed the issue at Braintree.
Before Red Line service wrapped up for the night, however, riders saw further delays of about 20 minutes following a medical emergency at North Quincy station, the T said in a 12:47 a.m. post on X. The delay had cleared by 1:30 a.m., according to the T.
