Days after it was first opened to the public, the Finch West LRT faced some temporary mechanical hiccups during the Thursday morning commute.
The entirety of Line 6 was out of service at two different intervals this morning due to “switch issues,” said TTC spokesperson Stuart Green.
According to TTC Service Alerts on social media, a mechanical issue arose between Finch West and Jane and Finch stations just before 6 a.m., but was resolved a short while later.
Then around 7:15 a.m. a switch issue arose and stopped service along the entire line, once again resuming about 40 minutes later.
Green said the TTC manages operations on Line 6 and that Metrolinx maintainers are in charge of technical maintenance.
He said 40 shuttle buses were running along the route when service was down.
CBC News has reached out to Metrolinx for more information.
