Assuming that delays to getting trains in service was caused by the Wilson Yard effectively being cut off from the Yonge Side of the line.
Having the network redundancy along Sheppard would make the line more resilient for the future.
Statement from #TTC CEO Mandeep Lali on this morningโs service disruption on Line 1โฆ
This morning on Line 1 near Eglinton West Station, we had a late clearing work zone where crews had been making overnight switch repairs.
Unfortunately this resulted in delays getting trains out for service and led to significant inconvenience for our customers.
For this I apologize.
As CEO, I want to assure everyone that I am accountable and I have asked our team to take immediate steps to mitigate such events in the future.
The most significant impact to our service was between 6 and 7:40 a.m., during which time we deployed 40 shuttle buses between Lawrence West and St. George stations.ย We added another 47 buses to supplement the slower train service.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to deliver the kind of reliable service you need, and that you deserve.
Mandeep S. Lali, CEO
