Several passengers on a Lakeshore West GO train found themselves stranded for up to two hours near Union Station. The ordeal began when the train stalled not far from its destination. A rider named AJ boarded the train at Appleby Station at 9:19 a.m., expecting to arrive at Union Station by 10:15 a.m. However, the train stalled, leaving passengers waiting for a resolution.
Passengers were informed of an equipment issue, and messages over the intercom suggested another train would arrive to take them to Union Station. Despite reassurances, the delay lasted more than two hours. AJ expressed frustration, stating, "The least they should have done is told us that this will take this much amount of time." The train was not as crowded as usual due to a stat holiday, but it was still nearly full.
Metrolinx confirmed the incident was caused by equipment problems and called it an isolated incident with minimal impact on services. The stalled train eventually reached Union Station, but not before other passengers shared their frustrations on social media, questioning the level of service provided.
