The MBTA has dispatched shuttle buses to exchange service between Harvard and Park Road stations on account of a prepare with a mechanical drawback at Central, the company tweeted Friday morning.

“Anticipate delays of a minimum of an hour with updates to observe,” the T tweeted at 9:52 a.m., the most recent of a collection of tweets on the issue.

A previous tweet inspired riders on the South Shore to “think about Commuter Rail Service from Braintree, Quincy Heart or JFK/UMass into downtown.”

This can be a growing story and will probably be up to date.
