Routes: 1 O-Train
Date effective: July 17, 2023
Here is the latest information regarding Line 1 service.
- During a routine inspection an issue was identified with an axle bearing, similar to what has occurred in the past.
- Upon further investigation an axle check was done, and it was determined that the bearing play was over threshold at which it could stay in operation.
- The safety of our customers and staff is our number one priority and, out of an abundance of caution, Line 1 service was suspended to allow for a complete investigation.
- Our team is focused on working with RTG and Alstom on the investigation.
- All trains are being safely returned to the Maintenance and Storage Facility and will be inspected.
What can customers expect?
Until further notice:
- R1 bus service will be operating from Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Station until further notice
- R1 service will start at 5:00 am and operate until 1:00 am. Our Transit Operations Control Centre is working to balance service delivery to support customers as best as possible, with a goal of 5-minute bus service.
- Staff are scheduled to be at all major stations to support customers during their commute.
- Additional signage is being installed to ensure customers are provided with accurate information during their trip.
- Regular updates are being provided to customers on our social media and posted on our website.
