Service has resumed on a portion of the TTC’s Line 2 between Islington and Jane stations following a fire at Royal York station.
The fire started just before 4:45 p.m. when smoke was reported in one of the trains going eastbound.
A fire extinguisher was used on site to put out the blaze before firefighters arrived to the scene.
TTC shut down the power at track level to allow for fire services to evaluate was caused the fire, but it has since been turned back on.
It’s the second fire of the day on the TTC after smoke and flames on a maintenance vehicle shut down a portion of Line 2 at Bloor-Yonge station earlier this morning while Line 1 bypassed the station. Service was shut down from around 5:30 a.m. to 7:15 a.m.
