“While berthed at the station, one of the train’s doors was not performing as designed so it was removed from service,” said Joe Pesaturo, a T spokesman, in an e-mail

The MBTA first tweeted about the delays caused by a “door problem” at 5:43 p.m. At one point, northbound trains were delayed by about 30 minutes, the MBTA said.

At 7:05 p.m., the MBTA said in a tweet that regular service had resumed.

The train removed from service comes after the Orange Line reopened Monday following a 30-day shutdown.
