The Scarborough RT will remain closed for at least three more weeks as the Toronto Transit Commission continues its investigation into the cause of Monday’s derailment.
The TTC announced the extended closure of the SRT on Thursday, saying the decision to resume service on Line 3 will be made once the review is complete.
There were 45 passengers on the train during the incident, five of whom were taken to hospital with minor injuries. “Safety is paramount to all we do and only once we know exactly what happened can we make a decision about the future operations of this line. In the meantime, we are making contingency plans to ensure we are providing the people of Scarborough with frequent and reliable transit options,” Leary added.
