The 7 train went down for about 30 minutes between Queens Plaza and 34th Street Hudson Yards this morning due to a rail condition at the Hunters Point Avenue station, according to the MTA.
Although the train returned to service around 9:10 am, riders were still subject to significant delays at 12:00pm, according to the MTA website. Click for updates.
Many riders took to Twitter to voice their frustrations, with one displaced passenger noting the lack of Q60 buses to handle the overflow.
