The TTC says there are delays between Finch and St. George stations due to a \u2018late clearing work zone.\u2019 <\/p>\n
The new head of the TTC is apologizing after subway service was disrupted along a stretch of Line 1 on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
Subway service was suspended along the line between Lawrence West and St. George stations for nearly two hours this morning due to a \u201clate clearing work zone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Subway service was back up and running as of about 7:40 a.m. but residual delays continued after service resumed. <\/p>\n
In a statement released Wednesday, TTC CEO Mandeep Lali said the issue stemmed from a late clearing work zone near Eglinton West Station, where crews were making overnight switch repairs. <\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately this resulted in delays getting trains out for service and led to significant inconvenience for our customers,\u201d Lali, who officially took over as the CEO of the TTC last month, said. <\/p>\n
He noted that the \u201cmost significant impact\u201d to service was between 6 a.m. and 7:40 a.m. and shuttle buses were deployed during that time to supplement service this morning. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor 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,\u201d Lali said. <\/p>\n
Lali, who was previously in charge of subway operations at New York\u2019s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), officially took over the position on July 7, replacing former TTC CEO Rick Leary, who resigned last summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The TTC says there are delays between Finch and St. George stations due to a \u2018late clearing work…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[712,45,49,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-66675","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
