System-Wide BART Delays Due to Power Outage at Bay Fair Station

BART is experiencing system-wide delays Friday due to a power outage at the Bay Fair station.

The delays are impacting trains heading in the Dublin/Pleasanton, Fremont, Richmond and Daly City directions, according to BART.

Track crews responded around 3:45 p.m. to a report of a power issue at the station, a BART dispatcher said. The power issue has resulted in problems operating the track switch.

As of around 4:10 p.m., the dispatcher said BART crews were on scene working to repair the issue.

The same station experienced similar problems with the track switch earlier Friday around 11:45 a.m., according to BART spokesman Jim Allison.

Crews were able to manually move the switch into the correct position by around 1 p.m., Allison said.

Other issues - including metal debris on the tracks near West Oakland and police activity in Richmond - have contributed to further delays on BART Friday.
