TTC Line 2 Service Halted by Hydraulic Fluid Leak at Islington Station
On the morning of Wednesday, August 14, 2025, commuters in Toronto faced significant disruptions as a section of the Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth) subway service was suspended. The cause of the unexpected halt was identified as a hydraulic fluid leak at Islington Station.
The incident led to the cessation of subway operations along the affected portion of Line 2, impacting thousands of daily riders. Mechanical issues such as hydraulic fluid leaks can compromise system safety and efficiency, necessitating immediate suspension of service to allow for repairs and ensure public safety.
While the TTC swiftly moved to address the issue, passengers were advised to seek alternative transportation methods. Typically, in such scenarios, the TTC dispatches shuttle buses to bridge the gap in service, helping to mitigate the inconvenience for commuters attempting to navigate their daily routes.
Crews are expected to be working diligently to resolve the fluid leak and restore full service on Line 2 as quickly and safely as possible. The TTC encourages all passengers to monitor its official channels for real-time updates and advisories regarding service resumption.
