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

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.

The CEO's Report for April TTC Board just out, it says...
"In April, service disruptions on Line 2 caused by hydraulic fluid leaks from work cars had a significant impact on customers. Incidents like these fall short of the standards we set and reinforce a core principle: our tolerance for service-affecting failures must be zero. We have grounded the work car fleet and are thoroughly investigating these events, and we will be relentless in identifying root causes to ensure they do not happen again. Reliability depends on disciplined execution, resilient assets, and clear accountability across the system."
Clearly the 'grounding' only happened yesterday!!

Are the work card powered by hydraulics? Or there is some hydraulic connection between cars? I dont understand how this can keep happening.

Friendly reminder that the Ford government cut $1 billion from TTC subway maintenance in 2019, and that the federal government just cut $5 billion from public transit funding in Canada, money the TTC could have used to fix their state of good repair backlog.
