O-Train service on Line 1 fully restored

Date:

O-Train service on Line 1 has been fully restored.

The transit provider said that trains had return to running the full-length of the line between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations shortly before 8 a.m. on Sunday.

Trains had been halted from moving east past the UOttawa station on Wednesday after an overhead catenary cable snapped and one vehicle experienced a power issue just before Lees, the next station east of UOttawa.

Video on the day showed sparks coming from the cable.

It came after the city experienced a freezing rain storm.
