BOSTON (WHDH) - The MBTA says there are supplier delays for new Orange and Red Line trains, meaning it will take longer to decrease wait times on both lines.

Officials say delays involving the Chinese rail company CRRC, which supplies the new trains, are putting them behind schedule.

Right now, there is a three-year delay for new Red Line trains and a two-year delay for new Orange Line trains.
