Subways are now running on Line 2 between Jane and Ossington stations after a train partially derailed at Keele Station during the morning rush hour on Wednesday.
Service was disrupted just after 6 a.m. and resumed around 10:15 a.m.
The TTC said the train got stuck in the bridge over Keele Street near Keele Station.
“Our crews are reporting a partial derailment of one of the middle cars of a train that was leaving Keele Yard. It was not in service,” TTC spokesperson Stuart Green said in a tweet.
Around 100 shuttle buses were running during the service disruption.
Toronto police had shut down Bloor Street West between Royal York Road and Jane Street due to a large number of pedestrians in the area, but the area has since reopened to traffic.
