Editor’s note: TransLink says the West Coast Express will resume service Thursday afternoon, but trains may be delayed arriving into Port Haney and Mission City Stations due to slower speed requirements through mudslides.
A mudslide is affecting the tracks on the West Coast Express, with further disruptions coming Thursday morning.
A bus bridge has been set up between Mission City and Coquitlam Central SkyTrain Station.
