TTC not sure what caused morning train delay at Kipling Station

A Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) train which stopped near Kipling Station Wednesday morning was not caused by a derailment as initially believed, according to spokesperson Danny Nicholson.
Preliminary reports by a TTC official had indicated the train traveling westbound towards Kipling came off its track at 8:55 a.m., but further investigation indicated that was not the case.
Nicholson said approximately 60 passengers were on board and no one was hurt. The TTC says everyone was removed from the train with the help of police and firefighters.
Sherline Tavaya was stuck on the westbound train between Kipling and Islington Stations just after 7:45 a.m.
The train stopped just after leaving Islington station, and didn’t move for close to an hour. Tavaya said there was no information other than a repetitive message about “signal problems.”
The train then started moving slowly, and when it was approximately 50 feet from Kipling station, Tavaya said it jerked to a stop.
We were stuck there, like the train sort of just jerked on the rails and it was like a huge bump and then we stopped,” she said. “There was nothing being said except the constant same message that there [were] signal problems and that response personnel have been dispatched.”
