A subway train heading north was evacuated after getting stuck in the tunnel due to an “abrupt” power outage about a thousand feet from Union Station Wednesday afternoon, the TTC said. Two trains lost power between Union and St. Andrew stations on Line 1, TTC spokesperson Stuart Green told the Star. One train sustained severe electrical damage but made it to the platform; the other train also experienced electric damage and had to be evacuated in the tunnel, he said. Fifty-four people were on board the northbound train at the time and were led through the tunnel to Union Station, Green said. The hours-long delay across the nine busy stations — including Union, Canada’s busiest station — caused several frustrated passengers to find alternative commutes while the investigation continued.
