NYC Subway Delays: Signal Problems Mar Morning Rush

NEW YORK — Signal problems and a door malfunction marred Monday morning commutes by causing delays on seven subway lines, according to the MTA.

A signal breakdown on the Manhattan Bridge delayed southbound B and D trains, while another at Smith-Ninth Streets slowed down northbound F and G trains, MTA alerts say. Southbound F train riders were also rankled by a separate signal issue at 18th Avenue, the agency says.

N, R and W trains were also delayed in both directions after workers took a train with a door problem out of service at Fifth Avenue-59th Street in Midtown, according to the MTA.

And wet leaves on the tracks forced Staten Island Railway trains to run at slower speeds, causing delays in both directions, the transit agency said.
