NYC Subway Delays, Changes For The July 7 Commute
Will you make it to work on time today?
NEW YORK, NY — It was looking like another mostly smooth day for the city's subway system this Friday morning commute, which would make this a (albeit short) week with no major disruptions, but good things cannot last.
Several trains were running with delays during the morning jam Friday. Most dramatically, a track fire at Bedford Avenue caused delays on the L train.

There were some delays on the M and R trains because of signal problems at Forest Hills-71st Avenue. And 5 and 6 trains were running with delays because of signal problems in the Bronx.

Service on the 7 and 1/2/3 lines appeared to be back to normal after a few incidents on those lines.
Of course, things can change in an instant, messing up mornings for hundreds of thousands of commuters. So Patch will be updating this post throughout the morning with the latest delay information from the MTA.
