Service to all 50 of BART’s stations resumed Wednesday morning, a day after a fire near the San Leandro station interrupted service between the Lake Merritt, Berryessa and Dublin stations, officials said.
According to BART, all stations were accessible even though the green line remained down on Wednesday. The green line runs from Daly City to Berryessa. Damage to the tracks left over from the fire prevented those tracks from being used, the agency said.
Delays were expected, and the trains that were running were doing so at slower speeds, according to the agency.
Passengers traveling from San Francisco can use the blue line that goes to Dublin/Pleasanton and transfer at Bayfair to an orange line train that will get them to Berryessa. Those traveling from Berryessa were told to use an orange line and transfer at Bayfair to a blue line Daly City train.
The stoppage Tuesday affected trains on all three of those lines from about 5:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Limited service between the Berryessa and Hayward stations and Dublin and Bay Fair stations started about 5:30 p.m.
Investigators have not determined the cause of the fire.
The shutdown was the second major one on BART in less than two weeks. A system-wide closure on May 9 lasted from 4:25 a.m. to 9:20 a.m. A network connectivity issue that prevented controllers from seeing train locations caused that closure.
