Some regular service resumes on TTCs Line 1 after cable damage causes delays – Toronto [Video]

The TTC says some regular service has resumed on the transit system’s Line 1 on Thursday near Union Station after a damaged cable caused significant delays in the area.

The transit system first reported on Wednesday morning that trains were travelling at reduced speeds, adding five to 10 minutes to trips in both directions, between King and St. Andrew stations causing wait times.

The TTC initially said on Wednesday repairs “could take several days.”

Crews could only work during overnight repair windows to safely fix the issue, the TTC said.

In an update on Thursday morning, the TTC said there was “some good news” as some regular service resumed in the area following overnight work.

However, the TTC noted that riders will still experience some delays and longer waits southbound from St. George to Union station and northbound from Union station to Bloor station on Line 1.
