OC Transpo pulled a number of O-Train vehicles out of service for additional inspections this weekend after a failure in one of the wheel hub assemblies on a train.
"RTM and Alstom are also conducting in-depth testing to determine the root cause of the failure on the affected wheel hub," Amilcar said, adding OC Transpo and TRA are engaged in the ongoing testing and inspections. The issue with the O-Train vehicle comes as the public inquiry into Ottawa's Light Rail Transit system continues. The commission held 18 days of in-person hearings at the University of Ottawa, and is scheduled to hold a one-day event this week looking at public-private partnerships.
The Transportation Safety Board says an analysis of recorded information showed the axle on one of the train's wheels likely failed at around 1:25 p.m. on Aug. 8, somewhere between Cyrville and Blair stations.
No one's in jail yet ? Nobody's fault this sht o-train right ?
Made it just in time golfguy81 ! What system we have running
Garbage bought by a garbage council and mayor. Throw them all out to the curb!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who is the designer of this project and who made the train vehicles, also who did the supervision work. All of them have the responsibility.
Did we get hosed. London has had this for 150 years. Ottawa 0 years working. Great leaders.
So how much of a fare increase are we looking at once the service gets reduced some more?
frpaul1 Future Canadian engineers will have their iron rings made from scrap metal falling from the O-Train.
What O train has travelled 175,000 km’s? That makes no sense!
How long are they going to be down for now
Watson on his way out so is the train lol
The level of incompetence in managing this project is mind boggling… If you were in the private sector, you’d have been all fired. Astonishing how much tax payers pay for their salaries & service maintenance costs?
Larry Obrien was a huge failure
Oh cool it’s the worst transit system in North America endangering the lives of the handful of riders that it had left. I’m glad those LRT hearings went well, no corruption here
Gee what a surprise!
Why did we switch to this company?
