    Power Problem At Transit Hub Halts Vancouver SkyTrains During Morning Commute

    The Canadian Press, 12 Jan, 2015 10:38 AM
    • Power Problem At Transit Hub Halts Vancouver SkyTrains During Morning Commute
    VANCOUVER — A temporary electrical issue at downtown Vancouver's transit hub has caused delays for passengers during their morning commute.
     
    SkyTrains were being turned around at Stadium-Chinatown station before making it to their last three stops downtown for about an hour and a half on Monday.
     
    Metro Vancouver's transit authority says a power problem at Waterfront Station was to blame for system-wide delays on the Expo and Millennium train lines that began at about 6:40 a.m.
     
    A bus bridge was set up to shuttle people between Stadium-Chinatown, Granville, Burrard and Waterfront, but there was still a significant backup during the already-busy morning rush.
     
    TransLink is warning passengers to expect heavier-than-normal passenger loads as the backup clears.
     
    The Canada Line was not affected. (CKNW, News 1130)
