Expo Line service partially restored

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – 1030PM UPDATE: SkyTrain service partially restored to Stadium Station. Expo Line still not open from Stadium to Waterfront Stations.

Expect huge delays if you’re hoping to use a SkyTrain downtown.

An electrical problem on a train is responsible.

The stations are all crowded with lines of people. Anne Drennan with Transit Police says extra buses have been called in.

“If this continues for any length of time, they will attempt to put extra trains on the system running from Broadway out through to King George and back, to deal with the overload.”

NEWS 1130’s Stephanie Froese has been at the Main Street station.

“I think people want an apology and an explanation for what is happening and definitely to know if tomorrow’s commute will be affected.”

CEO Cathy McLay used the term unacceptable as she apologized for the breakdown. She says it’s too early to tell when the service will be restored, but she hopes it will be back up and running by the morning.

Service is running on the Canada Line.
