O-Train Running Again

Published 02/11/2024 · Updated 06/10/2024

This is a release from the City of Ottawa:

Good morning Mayor and Members of Council,

The work conducted by RTG last night was successful and rail service launched this morning with seven trains serving all platforms from Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Station.

Our Transit Engineering team will work closely with RTG and with TRA to complete a thorough assessment of the affected infrastructure and to schedule the necessary repairs to permanently resolve the issue and allow the temporary isolation to be removed. A full investigation into the causes of this incident will continue to ensure that appropriate mitigations are in place.

We thank our customers for their patience while we worked to restore rail service to all areas. We will be bringing additional details and updates to the next Transit Commission in March and will ensure that representatives from RTG and TRA are in attendance to help respond to any questions.

Thank you,

Renée Amilcar

General Manager, Transit Services Department
