VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Service is slowly returning to normal after major delays on the Expo and Millenium Lines this afternoon.
TransLink says there were temporary service delays due to mechanical issues on several trains across both lines. TransLink says the trains lost communication with computer systems.
Some SkyTrain users say the trains were stopped between stations for over an hour. Many people on Twitter were expressing their outrage and panic, calling on on TransLink to tell them what was going on and to make more announcements on the train.
One person tweeted they were stuck on a train in the middle of the tracks for nearly 90 minutes before the train moved again.
