*Another* hydraulic fluid spill on line 2, apparently St George to Greenwood. No service Ossington to Woodbine.

The heads of that unit, direct, and executive need to be dismissed, immediately. Mistakes happen, but this major, this often is across the red line.

Accidents happen. But this more than hints at negligence and incompetence

They don't care. That's the problem. It's a culture thing. The foreman of the crew should be fired. But in a union shop that is unlikely.

I don't see any sign of the Line 2 closure just at the moment, though there is another delay, this time at Main, due a trespasser on the tracks.

TTC owes its customers a whole lot of detail on this. What happened to the corrective action plan from the last set of incidents - was it being followed? Where in the lifespan are all of the current vehicles, and are plans and funding in place to replace vehicles at end of life? When was the guilty equipment last inspected, and are its inspections and programmed maintenance up to date ?

Knowing nothing about hydraulic systems.....I'm curious also about the hydraulics on these machines.... just how much fluid do they carry and what is the potential release under worst case? I witnessed a spill from a garbage truck that shut down a major intersection for several hours....that one was a very small spill....it doesn't take much volume of fluid to really mess things up, but one wonders how large the TTC incidents are in comparison.

Service resumed too late for me. I'm trying an alternative route to work.

I guess all the experience the gained cleaning up after the spill a couple of days back helped today. /s

According to my husband, who commuted downtown from the west end shortly after service resumed this morning, he rode a TR on Line 2.
