Narrative:

Flight was released from guidance. I called for taxi instructions and was told to taxi runway 28L via foxtrot, hold runway 1L. Shortly after these instructions were given we were told to hold for an air carrier Y flight. After air carrier Y passed we were cleared to runway 28L, cleared to cross runway 1L and right and switched to tower on 120.5. Next call from tower was for us to hold and I so advised captain. I had seen an medium large transport in takeoff position runway 1L and after tower told us to hold I observed the medium large transport starting a takeoff roll and then aborting. We were advised on climb out under oak center to call when returning to sfo. Supplemental information from acn 152434. Ground controller cleared us to runway 28, left on foxtrot, cross both runways one, contact tower. Upon initial contact with, they said stop. We had xed the stop bar for runway 1L. We stopped. Causing medium large transport to abandon takeoff. We believe the ground control gave us clearance to cross an active runway west/O concurrence with the tower operator.

Title: ACR WDB UNAUTH RWY CROSSING AT SFO CAUSES A TKOF ABORT.

Narrative: FLT WAS RELEASED FROM GUIDANCE. I CALLED FOR TAXI INSTRUCTIONS AND WAS TOLD TO TAXI RWY 28L VIA FOXTROT, HOLD RWY 1L. SHORTLY AFTER THESE INSTRUCTIONS WERE GIVEN WE WERE TOLD TO HOLD FOR AN ACR Y FLT. AFTER ACR Y PASSED WE WERE CLRED TO RWY 28L, CLRED TO CROSS RWY 1L AND R AND SWITCHED TO TWR ON 120.5. NEXT CALL FROM TWR WAS FOR US TO HOLD AND I SO ADVISED CAPT. I HAD SEEN AN MLG IN TKOF POS RWY 1L AND AFTER TWR TOLD US TO HOLD I OBSERVED THE MLG STARTING A TKOF ROLL AND THEN ABORTING. WE WERE ADVISED ON CLB OUT UNDER OAK CTR TO CALL WHEN RETURNING TO SFO. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 152434. GND CTLR CLRED US TO RWY 28, L ON FOXTROT, CROSS BOTH RWYS ONE, CONTACT TWR. UPON INITIAL CONTACT WITH, THEY SAID STOP. WE HAD XED THE STOP BAR FOR RWY 1L. WE STOPPED. CAUSING MLG TO ABANDON TKOF. WE BELIEVE THE GND CTL GAVE US CLRNC TO CROSS AN ACTIVE RWY W/O CONCURRENCE WITH THE TWR OPERATOR.
