We now know the cause of big delays on Skytrain early this morning.
Skytrain spokesperson Jennifer Siddon says you can blame a cracked rail, just east of Metrotown station.
Technicians spotted it during routine maintenance overnight.
“Unfortunately, we weren’t able to finish the work before start of service. So we did have some single tracking in alternating directions.”
Siddon adds cracked rails are a rare problem.
“We had an incident about 10 years ago, and prior to that in 1989. Certainly, it underscores the importance of our crews performing nightly maintenance and inspections on the system.”
Normal service resumed by 7am.
