Trains bypassing at least two subway stations due to flooding

Subway trains are bypassing at least two stations due to flooding.

The TTC says that trains are not stopping at Christie Station on Line 2 eastbound or at St. Patrick Station on Line 1 at all as a result of flooding.

It is not clear when full service will resume.

The issue comes after Toronto saw torrential rain at times on Monday afternoon.

Environment Canada had previously issued a rainfall warning shortly after 1 p.m., calling for rainfall amounts of between 40 and 60 millimetres.

The warning, however, was lifted at around 3 p.m.

A heat warning also remains in effect for Toronto.

The heat and humidity are acting as a “fuel for storms,” CP24’s Meteorologist Bill Coulter said Monday morning.

““Tuesday may offer rounds of strong storms as a cold front plows through. The air in the wake of the cold front will be much more manageable and offer relief from the oppressive heat and humidity,” Coulter said.
