Update: BART recovering from major delays on yellow line between Antioch, SFO
CONCORD -- BART passengers experienced major delays Friday morning on the Antioch line because of problems in two different locations along the line.
The transit agency initially reported around 5:30 a.m. a power problem that was affecting service between the North Concord and Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre stations, with County Connection buses providing mutual aid during the service disruption.
At about 5:50 a.m., BART officials said they were in the process of restoring normal service between the stations, but then 10 minutes after that reported a new problem, this one involving equipment in the Berkeley Hills Tunnel between the Orinda and Rockridge stations.
Service was halted between the two stations and BART set up bus shuttles for riders in the meantime.
While both problems eventually were resolved, at 7:42 a.m. BART reported 20-minute delays on the line in both directions because of the equipment problem in the Berkeley Hills.
