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.”
