Signal issue scuttles commuter rail service at North Station
Commuter rail service alerts for the MBTA's three impacted lines indicate delays of up to 45 minutes.
A signal issue at North Station spelled severe delays for commuter rail riders Tuesday morning, according to the MBTA.
The agency said in a post on X that the issue impacted passengers on the Haverhill, Lowell, and Fitchburg lines, as trains were forced to hold before entering or exiting the station.
“Our engineering team is working to resume regular service as soon as possible,” the MBTA wrote at 7:46 a.m.
Commuter rail service alerts for the impacted lines indicated delays ranging from around 15 minutes to 45 minutes. And needless to say, some riders were less than thrilled.
