For those of you stuck on the L last night between Union Square and Bedford Ave., here’s why:
According NYC Transit spokeswoman Deirdre Parker the vacuum train was scheduled to clear the tracks around 11 p.m. At that time, service would only run over one track in the tunnel. But in a perfect storm of unlucky events, there was also a signal problem leaving riders stuck from 11:10 p.m. to 12:15 a.m.
One rider complaining to the Tracker said he could take the wait if he just had more information. Instead, the conductor just kept repeating, “We apologize for the temporary delay.”

Most of the time the TA Control Center don't answer the radio and the train crew are left with no information.
