There were problems on both Ottawa’s public transit train lines 1 and 2 Monday morning. (CBC)
Stopped trains closed platforms on both lines 1 and 2 of Ottawa’s O-Train earlier Monday morning.
OC Transpo first said around 7:40 a.m. that all trains would be stopping at the northbound platform at Carleton station on the north-south Line 2. That ended around 8:15 a.m.
It then said around 8:05 a.m. that what’s normally the eastbound platforms would be taking trains in both directions at Lyon, Pimisi and Bayview stations on the east-west Line 1.
OC Transpo said around 8:40 a.m. that one also ended.
It did not say why trains were stopped.
OC Transpo is counting in part on more frequent Line 1 trains to help with an expected surge in ridership at the end of the month when summer vacations end for schools and workers.
