Replacement buses and trains running between Blair, St-Laurent stations
OC Transpo is running fewer train trips and adding replacement buses on the eastern end of the Confederation Line Tuesday morning after an “area of concern” was found in the St-Laurent station’s ceiling.
Trains are running about every 15 minutes between Blair and St-Laurent stations, according to the second of two overnight memos from transit leadership: one at 10 p.m. Monday and the second at about 12:45 a.m. Tuesday.
R1 replacement buses are running between those stations. Express E1 buses are running as normal straight from Blair to downtown.
West of St-Laurent, trains are running every five or six minutes, the second memo said. Only St-Laurent’s westbound platform is open.
Previous problems with the ceiling over St-Laurent station included debris falling onto tracks in January and “disrupted” ceiling tiles in May that CBC learned more about through a freedom of information request.
