Commuters in downtown Toronto experienced major delays Wednesday evening after a subway train got stuck in a tunnel on Line 1 earlier in the day.
Shuttle buses were brought in as service was suspended on Line 1 between Bloor-Yonge and Osgoode stations.
Shortly before 2 p.m., Toronto police tweeted that a train was stuck in a tunnel near Union Station and smoke was rising from the track area.
At the time, police said the incident may have occurred because a train hit a switch underground.
A spokesperson for Toronto Fire Services told Global News that the train had left Union Station and was heading to St. Andrew Station when the incident occurred.
