“Especially disappointing was the fact this is the same issue as what caused the derailments in 2021.”
Barrhaven East Councillor Wilson Lo on the bearing failure that closed the Confederation Line

Lo gave us the information we suspected. This is the same problem that the Transportion Safety Board pointed out last February. And they could cause catastrophic failure.

OC Transpo’s solution was not a solution. More inspections of the trains don’t solve the problem. Lo says that we have reached a point where drastic actions might be in order.

That’s actually not quite true. That point was reached a long time ago.
