Trains on the Lakeshore West between Bronte and Oakville were halted for investigation. Service has since resumed.

Anne Marie Aikins, spokesperson for Metrolinx, said she recommends Lakeshore West commuters delay their travel if possible and check the GO Transit website for shuttle bus information.

She said they are doing the best they can during rush hour on their busiest line, but it’s more people than they can fit on shuttle buses.​
