OC Transpo\u0027s GM said Rideau Transit Group and Alstom are undertaking additional “precautionary replacements” of the vehicle axle hub assembly.
In a memo to Mayor Jim Watson and members of city council, Renée Amilcar said Rideau Transit Group and Alstom were undertaking additional “precautionary replacements” of the vehicle axle hub assembly and an investigation after issues were found in one light rail vehicle.
No further issues had been discovered during the replacement of axle wheel hubs, she said, and there were sufficient trains to meet daily requirements. An analysis of the incident began immediately and was continuing. Amilcar said RTG and Alstom categorized it as a unique event, adding it could be the same or related to the axle issue that let to the derailment on Aug. 8, 2021. An analysis of the cause of that incident is ongoing.
While both analyses continue, OC Transpo has implemented precautionary measures, including replacement of axle wheel hubs, an enhanced inspection regime and temporary speed restrictions along some sections of the Confederation Line track.
