The commuter rail from South Station to Foxborough experienced a mechanical issue ahead of the Rolling Stones’ performance Thursday at Gillette Stadium, a spokesperson at Keolis said.
Performing in 16 cities across North America on their 2024 Hackney Diamonds tour, the Rolling Stones’ set the record as the 100th concert in Gillette Stadium’s history.
Authorities moved passengers onto a different train set, which departed South Station around 6:50 p.m. and picked up passengers at Back Bay, officials said.
Concert goers expressed their concerns on social media to the MBTA.
The train ran express to Foxborough and arrived at 7:30 pm, in time for the opening acts of the concert.
Passengers at Dedham Corporate Center were accommodated by a regularly scheduled train to Foxborough which arrived at 7:15 p.m., officials said.
Train service to Boston after the concert will operate normally.
