DUE to multiple track issues, caused by ice build-up on SkyTrain’s guideway, TransLink said on Friday afternoon that it is seeing significant disruptions to service.
“We are doing everything possible to resume service as quickly as possible, but our strong advice to customers is to avoid travel at this time,” said TransLink.
The Expo Line is currently halted while de-icer trains run through the system. Multiple stations are currently closed, including Braid, Sapperton, Scott Road, Gateway, Surrey Central, and King George.
The Millennium Line is experiencing significant delays, with no service currently between Lougheed and Burquitlam stations.
On Canada Line, there is no service between Bridgeport and Richmond–Brighouse stations. There is also no service from Templeton to YVR–Airport. Customers travelling to YVR are able to catch an airport shuttle from Templeton station.
Coast Mountain Bus Company is re-routing bus resources to try and move people who are affected by SkyTrain disruptions.
Those using transit should check their route by signing up for Transit Alerts, consulting TransLink’s Trip Planner, or by following TransLink on Twitter @TransLink.
