Toronto’s newest transit line faced another rough morning after Thursday’s powerful snowstorm, with the TTC confirming that Line 6 Finch West was once again out of service between Finch West and Humber College stations.
The TTC said the shutdown was due to ongoing weather‑related conditions along the 10.3‑kilometre route. Shuttle buses operated between Finch West and Humber College for most of the morning. The transit agency said service was restored just after noon ET, however, intermittent track switch issues were noted at several locations along the route throughout the afternoon.
The repeat closure comes less than 24 hours after Thursday’s storm forced a full shutdown of Line 6, marking one of the most significant weather disruptions since the LRT opened in December.
On Thursday, the TTC said the line was fully out of service due to heavy snow and deteriorating conditions, with no immediate estimate for restoration.
Friday’s stoppage adds to a growing list of early‑life challenges for the line, which has experienced multiple outages tied to weather, switch issues and mechanical problems in its first weeks of operation.
