NYC Subway Status: L Trains A Mess During Thursday Morning Commute
Breaking: Manhattan commuters coming from North Brooklyn may have some headaches this morning.
WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — L train commuters coming into Manhattan this morning faced crowded subway platforms and stalled trains.
The MTA said around 8:50 a.m. that some 8th avenue-bound L trains were stopping at Bedford Avenue because of a train with mechanical problems.
The issue was resolved about 20 minutes later, but if reports from commuters were to be believed, delays were probably going to be annoying for the rest of the morning.

@NYCTSubway if they can get to Bedford. Our train has been stuck at the station for almost 20 minutes. Should be moving"momentarily" though
