Transit officials will be providing the latest update Monday afternoon on the plan to get Ottawa's LRT line back on track.
In a memo Monday, Transit Services General Manager Renée Amilcar said Partial service would be restored between Tunney’s Pasture and uOttawa stations on Tuesday, Aug. 8.R1 replacement bus service continues to run between Tunney's Pasture and Blair stations for a fourth week after trains were ground to a halt on July 17 following concerns over a wheel hub assembly issue on one train that was discovered during an inspection.
Customers may notice slower train speeds in the tunnel due to a speed restriction as part of safety requirements during the gradual resumption of service"By operating with single-car trains, OC Transpo can accommodate current customer volumes and manage the fleet availability over the long term," Amilcar wrote.
RTG and RTM are also replacing the wheel hub assemblies on all trains to fit in with a new maintenance regime of replacing the front and back assemblies every 60,000 km. As of Mondau, 22 of 45 vehicles had been fitted with new assemblies.
