Both the Lakeshore West and Lakeshore East lines experienced delays during the evening commute due to equipment issues, GO Transit reported.
On the Lakeshore East line, the transit agency said an earlier equipment issue west of Rouge Hill GO that happened around 5:30 p.m. has been resolved. It led to delays up to 90 minutes and frustrated riders after yet another difficult commute home.
“The delays have been insane,” said one commuter. “I’m tired, I’m tired of it,” added another.
A similar equipment problem was reported on the Lakeshore West line, just west of Mimico GO affecting trains that left just after 5 p.m. That issue has also since been resolved.
Delays are still being reported along the line with the 22:24 West Harbour GO to Union Station delayed 60 minutes.
No further details on what the equipment issues were have not been released.
GO Transit is still operating on a modified schedule after a train derailed on Monday morning. The reduced service was expected to continue on Thursday.
On Thursday, Metrolinx, the agency which runs GO Transit, said the equipment issues were unrelated to the derailment.
