A partial shutdown of the Red Line began Thursday night and will remain in effect through Sunday, according to the MBTA.

Shuttle buses will replace train service on the MBTA’s Red Line between Kendall/MIT and JFK/UMass Station beginning Thursday evening, officials said. Train service will be suspended between those stops from 8:30 p.m. on Thursday through the end of service on Sunday for regularly scheduled maintenance work, officials said.

The MBTA will close a sizable portion of the Red Line and offer shuttle service instead both this weekend and the next in order to tackle planned maintenance.

Hundreds of people were evacuated from an MBTA Blue Line train stuck in a tunnel that goes under Boston Harbor on Tuesday, the T confirmed. A communications wire was down in the tunnel between Aquarium and Maverick stations, which are on either side of the harbor, MBTA officials said. That was reported about 2:30 p.m., and it prompted trains to be held and shuttle buses to be brought in to replace service. About 465 people were escorted off the train stuck in the tunnel, which remained there as of about 4:45 p.m., by Boston firefighters, MBTA transit police and MBTA staff, according to the officials. No one was reported injured. Video shared with NBC10 Boston and posts on social media showed people walking on the subway tracks. “The MBTA apologizes for this disruption in Blue Line service. Personnel are on site now, working to resolve the issue as quickly and safely as possible,” a spokeswoman said in a statement. Firefighters were seen at Maverick Station across Boston Harbor, where riders appeared to be waiting for bus service. The Boston Fire Department confirmed that its crews spent about an hour helping about 500 people, including with a cart for people who needed help getting out. Earlier Tuesday, a person was hit and killed by a Blue Line train at Aquarium Station after intentionally entering the tracks, MBTA Transit Police said. There was no indication the later signal problems were linked to that incident.
