Power outage partially shuts down O-Train service Sunday evening
A section of Ottawa's Confederation Line was out of service for more than 90 minutes Sunday evening due to a power outage.
OC Transpo reported at 8:26 p.m. that R1 bus service was running between Parliament and St. Laurent stations due to a power outage on the light-rail transit system.
There was no train service at five stations: Rideau, uOttawa, Lees, Hurdman and Tremblay stations. Trains continued to run between Tunney's Pasture and Parliament and Blair and Tremblay stations.
OC Transpo reported power had been restored at all Line 1 stations just after 10 p.m. and full service resumed on the LRT system. There was no word on the cause of the outage.
This is the third major issue affecting O-Train service this month.
On Jan. 23, a brake problem caused an LRT vehicle to stop at Tunney's Pasture station. Service was provided on the eastbound line at Lyon, Pimisi and Bayview stations for three hours.
A section of the O-Train line, between uOttawa and St. Laurent stations, was out of service for six days in early January after two trains stopped during a freezing rain storm and the overhead wires were covered in ice.
