Shuttle buses are running between the Kennedy and Warden subway stations today after a derailment early this morning.
Just after 1 a.m., police and the fire department were advised that the last car of a subway train leaving Kennedy station had left the track, Toronto police Staff Sgt. Robert Skinner said.
There were no reports of injuries in the accident, and it’s believed a gearbox malfunction was to blame for the mishap.
Toronto Transit Commission officials told police it might take a couple of days to clear the track, as the derailment occurred inside the subway tunnel.
There was no word on how fast the train was moving when the incident occurred.
TTC officials were not immediately available for comment.
