Overview
- Line 2 service between Ossington and Woodbine halted Friday morning after an overnight work car leaked hydraulic fluid onto the tracks, with shuttle buses filling the gap until trains resumed around 7:20 a.m.
- CEO Mandeep Lali called the breakdown unacceptable, apologized to riders, and said he takes full accountability.
- The TTC ordered a full internal review and paused its work car fleet except in rare cases until inspections find the cause and sideline any faulty vehicles.
- The leak was the second oil-related incident on Line 2 since Tuesday, following an Old Mill spill from a maintenance vehicle and a separate Thursday outage tied to signal issues near Woodbine.
- Riders face more disruption this weekend with a planned closure between Keele and St George, which could lengthen trips for thousands who rely on the busy east–west line.
