Subway Service Restored on Line 2 After Second Hydraulic Spill This Week
Subway service on Line 2 in Toronto has been restored following a second hydraulic fluid spill this week. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) reported this latest incident occurred early Friday morning on April 10, 2026.

Commitment to Improvement
The TTC has promised to investigate both incidents thoroughly to prevent future occurrences. Lali emphasized the importance of reliable transit, especially during peak hours when commuters depend on the service.
