A reported “power issue” on the Confederation Line LRT briefly stopped all service on the west end of the line.
OC Transpo called in R1 buses at around 1 p.m. between Tunney’s Pasture and Hurdman stations Monday afternoon because of the issue. Trains kept running from Hurdman to Blair stations.
A short time later, OC Transpo said there was a stopped train in the tunnel, causing train service at Parliament and Rideau stations be available on the westbound platform only. A City of Ottawa spokesperson said power had been restored and train service was running again.
Full service was restored by 1:40 p.m.
What caused the power issue is unknown.
