**Update: Wednesday, March 27 at 12:57 pm - The Expo Line is resuming full service. Expect delays and gaps in service while we resume regular service. Joyce Station is open**

**Update: Wednesday, March 27 at 10:45 am - The technical issue for the Canada Line has been resolved. However, TransLink is still in the process of returning to normal service, and there is significant crowding at Oakridge Station. The bus bridge between Oakridge and Bridgeport Stations will remain in place for now to clear the extra volume. The medical emergency at Joyce-Collingwood Station continues*

TransLink is advising passengers that there is currently no service out of Joyce-Collingwood Station due to a medical emergency.

The transit authority notes that trains are still running between Waterfront and Nanaimo, as well as Metrotown to Production/King George. However, riders can change to a shuttle train or access a bus bridge at Nanaimo and Metrotown Stations.

TransLink stated in an email that they, "expect this disruption to last for at least two hours."

A bus bridge is currently in place.

TransLink also stated that delays also continue for the Canada Line between the Oakridge and Bridgeport stations. Crews are working to resolve a technical issue, but customers must use a bus bridge in the meantime.

The Millennium Line is currently unaffected.

Riders seeking alternative routes to SkyTrain are encouraged to consult the Trip Planner online or contact our customer information desk (604-953-3333) for trip planning advice.
