The review into the Scarborough RT derailment is taking longer than expected.
Stuart Green, the spokesperson for TTC, told CTV News Toronto he initially thought it would take three weeks, but it appears it will be a couple more.
"We have three external consultants in who are helping us in three areas: track, the infrastructure itself and the vehicles," said Green. "It's a unique system the way it runs. It has what's called a linear induction motor in the middle of the track, that's unique to that particular line, that's not the same on the subway system.", injuring five. The TTC launched an investigation immediately and halted the service, using a shuttle bus system instead.
"Even if we bring the train service back we're still going to be down a train, the train that was involved in the derailment," said Green. "So we're already planning now with the city for parallel shuttle service." Line 3 SRT update: Consultants and staff continue to probe July 24 derailment. Track, vehicles, infrastructure under review but need another couple of weeks. 1 / 2
