Subway service on Line 1 between Finch West and Wilson stations has resumed following Tuesday night’s flash flood.
Toronto Transit Commission officials said flooding at Sheppard West Station halted service for more than 24 hours and shuttle buses had to be used to move commuters during the service disruption.
A slow-moving rainstorm late Tuesday night produced between 70 and 110 millimetres of rain causing localized flooding in several neighbourhoods across Toronto.
Streets and low-lying areas were affected by the heavy downpour as multiple vehicles and even streetcars had to be abandoned as they got stuck in the rising water.
