It’s an L of a nightmare for morning rush
A DISABLED subway train made a mess of commutes on the L line during Thursday morning’s rush hour. Riders were posting pictures of the immense crowds building on L line platforms. The train, which had door problems as it was leaving the Bedford Ave. station around 8:12 a.m., forced the MTA to cut L line service in and out of Manhattan, from Myrtle-Wyckoff Aves. to Eighth Ave. Trains had to be held at Brooklyn stations because of the stalled train, which was cleared by 8:50 a.m. “Don’t try to get on the #ltrain right now. @MTA fail. @Uber win,” wrote Heather Viggiani on Twitter. The respite from the subway chaos on the L line didn’t last long. Signal problems disrupted service from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., forcing the MTA to hold L trains at their stations on the entire line, from Eighth Ave. to Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway.
