A SkyTrain was evacuated at Marine Drive Station on the Canada Line Tuesday afternoon due to a stalled train.
TransLink spokesperson Anne Drennan said a train suffered a sudden loss of power, but it is not known why at this time.
Full service between Bridgeport Station and Marine Drive Station is expected to resume by 3 p.m.
TransLink is not able to confirm reports of a fire at this time, but fire crews were on scene at the station. Drennan said passengers in the train that was evacuated may have seen arcing, which is not uncommon.
Passengers travelling to the airport will be affected until service is fully resumed:
