UPDATE: Expect delays to Canada Line due to technical issue, reduced frequency between Bridgeport and YVR
UPDATE: Canada Line service to and from stations on Sea Island/YVR is running, but on reduced frequency due to the technical issue.
Original story:
A technical issue on a Canada Line train near Bridgeport Station has currently halted service to YVR stations.
There are also delays of five to 10 minutes (or longer) to the rest of Canada Line as a result.
“We are beginning to turn back trains coming from Waterfront at Oakridge Station,” TransLink said in a release. “A shuttle bus is being put in place to connect Oakridge to other Canada Line stations south of Oakridge.”

To help “alleviate crowding” TransLink is also assembling a bus shuttle between Marine – Gateway and Bridgeport stations.
Crews are working to restore full service.
