SkyTrain service restored after ‘track intrusion’ in downtown Vancouver

SkyTrain passengers disembark after a "track intrusion" suspended Expo Line service in downtown Vancouver on April 27, 2026.

There was a troubled morning commute for many SkyTrain passengers heading into downtown Vancouver on Tuesday after an incident on the Expo Line track.

Few details have been confirmed, but TransLink said a “track intrusion alarm” forced the suspension of Expo Line service between Stadium-Chinatown and Waterfront stations around 8 a.m.

The issue was resolved and regular service resumed by around 9:30 a.m., the transit provider said.

During the suspension, SkyTrain cars bound for the downtown core were turned back at Stadium-Chinatown Station, but a bus bridge was set up to transport passengers to Granville, Burrard and Waterfront stations.

Service on the Millennium line and Canada Line was not affected.
