Alert: Red Line cancelled on Friday, July 5th due to rail defect

Before revenue service began on Friday, July 5, 2024, BART crews found a rail defect on a trackway near 19th Street/Oakland Station.

No BART stations are closed but the Red Line is cancelled. We anticipate the Red Line to be cancelled all day but back in service tomorrow. Crews will make the necessary repairs tonight after revenue service ends. The rail defect does not appear to be heat related. Red Line trains will show as cancelled in real time departures and the Trip Planner.

• San Francisco bound passengers coming from the Richmond direction who would normally take a Red Line train should take an Orange Line Berryessa train and transfer to a Yellow Line San Francisco train at MacArthur Station.
• Richmond bound riders from Millbrae should board a shuttle train to SFO, then take the Yellow Line and transfer to an Orange Line train at MacArthur Station.

The incident is not causing major delays.
