EL SHUT DOWN DUE TO THREAT

Service on the El between Bridge-Pratt and Erie-Torresdale was suspended yesterday following a report of a bomb threat at Bridge-Pratt. The threat was reported at around 12:30pm yesterday. As a result, a bus-bridge was put in place between Erie-Torresdale and Bridge-Pratt; later, all buses en route to Bridge-Pratt were diverted to Erie-Torresdale. Service was restored nearly an hour later.
