O-Train service was unavailable in the east end for a short period over the weekend due to a stopped train on the tracks.

OC Transpo posted on X just before 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov 18 that there was no service between the St. Laurent and Blair stations due to the stopped train.

Just over 90 minutes later, service resumed.

RESOLVED, Line 1: Regular train service has resumed. R1 service to end shortly. Thank you for your patience.
