I sent the following out to the listserv on Wednesday afternoon after trying to take the train downtown Wednesday morning.

“I got to the station just before 11 AM today. The button for the elevator was already pressed as there was a lady there who arrived ahead of me. We waited several minutes and no elevator showed up. More people arrived and the Security guy walked over and started pressing the button. None of the elevators arrived. At this point, the 36 pulled up and I hopped on it since I was going to be late for my meeting if I stood around any longer. I think I waited for about 5 minutes before the bus arrived.”

The elevator didn’t arrive for at least five minutes. When I took the train back later that evening, the door to the area behind the elevators on the platform area was open and there were a bunch of workers in there. It looked like they were working on the elevators from what I could tell.

Does anyone know if ST has issued a warning or information about this?

Apparently someone got stuck in one of the elevators (far left one). I wonder if the closure was related to the elevators being on the fritz.

Were there announcements on the train that BH Station was closed? Announcements that to reach Beacon Hill, you had to get off at Mount Baker Station and take a shuttle bus? I want to know how well riders were served during this event. Thank you.
