Subway service is expected to remain suspended through the afternoon rush on a portion of Line 2 due to a hydraulic oil leak that was first detected on Monday morning.
The pause in service due to slippery track conditions near Sherbourne Station began at around 7:30 a.m. with no estimated time of resolution as of late Monday afternoon, Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) spokesperson Stuart Green told CP24.
“It looks like this could take us into the afternoon rush,'' Green said.
Overnight, Green said a work car dropped hydraulic acid between Yonge and Castle Frank stations.
The closure stretches between St George and Broadview stations, which Green explained is because there are limited turn back locations for the trains.
“The trains were trying to stop and much like a car slips on ice, the train would overshoot the platform by a little bit,” Green said.
At this point, Green said the TTC doesn’t know how the hydraulic oil leak happened but manual deep cleaning is underway.
