SkyTrain’s Millennium Line is currently experiencing significant service disruptions due to a technical issue.

According to TransLink, the service disruptions have temporarily ceased train service between VCC-Clark Station and Holdom Station. A bus bridge shuttle service is replacing this westernmost segment of the Millennium Line route, with trains turning back at Holdom Station.

The disruptions began shortly after 11 pm. There is no indication when service will resume.

This is the second major service disruption to SkyTrain in recent days, after a fire inside the Expo Line’s downtown tunnel on May 23.
