QUINCY, Mass. — Fire department activity at an MBTA station on Monday morning is causing delays on a subway line.

In a post on X, the T warned of delays of about 20 minutes on the Red Line’s Braintree branch due to an emergency response at the Quincy Center station.

Riders were urged to use the commuter rail between Braintree and South Station for alternate service.

The MBTA later announced that shuttle buses would replace service between North Quincy and Braintree.

There were no additional details immediately available.
