Hydraulic Oil Spill Halts TTC Line 2 Between Keele and Kipling

Cleanup crews are removing oil from the tracks.

Overview

  • Line 2 has no trains between Keele and Kipling, a roughly 6.75-kilometre span, with shuttle buses filling in after Tuesday morning’s leak.
  • The TTC first reported a Jane-to-Kipling shutdown for a mechanical issue, then updated Tuesday to extend it to Keele and cite a hydraulic oil spill.
  • Crews are cleaning the spill and inspecting track and equipment to ensure the line is safe to reopen.
  • The TTC has not given a timeline for full service to resume.
  • Similar oil-spill incidents in 2024 led to lengthy closures, raising concern that recovery could take longer than a typical delay.
