Service restored from Berryessa to Bay Fair & Bay Fair to Dublin/Pleasanton after earlier fire

Update (5/20, 5:23pm): BART service has been partially restored and trains are running from Berryessa to Bay Fair and Bay Fair to Dublin/Pleasanton.

There is currently no BART service between Berryessa, Dublin/Pleasanton, and Lake Merritt stations due to an earlier fire on the tracks just south of the San Leandro Station. Lake Merritt Station is closed. There is no service from Lake Merritt south.

BART’s Trip Planner accurately shows canceled trips on the Green, Orange, and Blue lines. However, BART’s Real Time Departures trains are not able to be canceled easily and quickly, which is why some trains are showing in real time departures. Please use the Trip Planner instead. BART has no control over Google Maps and Apple Maps.

AC Transit is providing mutual aid. This helpful webpage shows bus alternatives between BART stations: https://www.actransit.org/BART-alternatives

VTA is providing mutual aid at Berryessa and Milpitas stations.

Wheels is providing bus service between Dublin, Castro Valley, and Bay Fair.

The Yellow (Antioch to SFO) and Red lines (Richmond to Millbrae) are not impacted. 

The fire was reported at 5am and stations with no service were closed. We don’t yet know the cause of the fire. The fire caused damage to wayside equipment. Crews are currently assessing and repairing. 

The estimated time for service restoration is between 3:30pm and 5:30pm.
