The MBTA announced the suspension of Orange Line services between North Station and Forest Hills on Thursday evening due to flooding near Ruggles station, attributed to a spring nor'easter. Passengers were directed to use the Green Line instead until further notice. Shuttle buses replaced service from Back Bay to Jackson Square, with additional shuttles provided between Copley and Back Bay. The suspension was due to high water levels affecting the electrified third rail, prompting immediate action by agency workers. Winthrop Ferry services faced similar disruptions that day due to adverse weather conditions.
The MBTA stated that the Orange Line service was replaced by shuttle buses due to "flood conditions" from a spring nor'easter, particularly near Ruggles station.
Affected areas included service from North Station to Forest Hills, with the Green Line taking the place of the Orange Line in downtown Boston.
An MBTA spokesperson indicated that high water levels near the electrified third rail at Roxbury Crossing necessitated the suspension of train services, due to accumulated debris.
In addition to the Orange Line disruptions, ferry services were also impacted as the MBTA suspended Winthrop Ferry service due to strong winds and rough seas.
