Skytrain not running between Columbia Stn and Scott Road Stn due to a track issue during afternoon commute

Darpan News Desk Translink BC, 31 May, 2022 05:20 PM

It's been a messy commute Tuesday with SkyTrain service on the Expo Line between Surrey and New Westminster disrupted.

The interrupted service is because of a SkyBridge track issue between Columbia and Scott Road stations.

The whole thing started Monday night and still hasn't been resolved.

Good morning everyone. Our crew is still working to resolve the SkyTrain issue from yesterday. This means Expo line trains will be running from Waterfront to Columbia, from King George to Scott Road. There is a bus bridge in place from Scott Rd to Columbia station. ^MR
