A power outage on the Bloor-Danforth subway line caused a lot of frustration for passengers travelling between Ossington and Broadview stations on Sunday afternoon.
TTC officials said the problem originated at St. George station when someone was injured at track level around 2pm. Reports indicate it was TTC officials who cut the power after a personal injury on the tracks.
Shuttle buses were used to get commuters where they need to go, and it wasn’t long after the Broadview to Ossington stretch was reopened that those buses were sent further west.
While the initial shut down was cleared up by late afternoon, another brief closure occured just minutes later on the Bloor line between Jane and Islington.
The Yonge-University-Spadina line was not affected.
