Full service resumed on Ottawa's light rail transit system Friday afternoon, four-and-a-half days after a lightning strike reduced service on the system.
"Regular train service has resumed,” OC Transpo tweeted at 2:30 p.m. Friday. “All platforms at all Line 1 stations are open.”
"O-Train Line 1 will resume full service at a normal frequency shortly, and 11 trains are planned to run during the afternoon peak period." OC Transpo operated the O-Train between Blair and St. Laurent stations and Rideau and Tunney's Pasture stations between Tuesday and Friday, with R1 bus service running between St. Laurent and Rideau stations.
