Eglinton Crosstown LRT Testing Paused After Unspecified Incident, Ontario Confirms

Officials say the revenue service demonstration will resume shortly.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Transportation confirmed the 30-day revenue service demonstration was paused after an incident late last week during commissioning.
  • Toronto Star reporting says two trains collided at the Mount Dennis yard, a claim CityNews has not independently verified.
  • There were no immediate reports of injuries to personnel involved in the testing.
  • The demonstration began on Oct. 7 to validate full operations without passengers, and it is unclear whether the pause will require restarting the 30-day period.
  • Authorities have not set an opening date, with November described as the earliest possible timing, as advocates call for a public inquiry and greater transparency.
