Trains began running between Tunney's Pasture and uOttawa stations around 6:15 a.m. Thursday. Before that, replacement bus service was running along the entirety of the Confederation Line.The problems began when an eastbound LRT train stopped between Lees and Hurdman stations around 11:45 p.m., Amilcar said in the memo.
Amilcar said staff decided to keep passengers on the trains while Alstom worked to restore service. But at 12:40 a.m., special constables escorted 37 passengers from the two stuck trains to Hurdman stations, where they were transferred to a bus. In a further update late Thursday morning, Amilcar said crews were still working to remove ice accumulation which was delaying the removal of the two trains from the line, as well as a third train stopped at Tremblay station.
