The fourth problem in four days paralyzed the Réseau express metropolitain (REM) on Saturday between Panama and Île-des-Sœurs stations. Warming temperatures have actually caused ice to fall on the trail.
The interception was reported on the REM X account around 2:30 pm on Saturday.
“An object en route is causing a service interruption on the network between Panama and Île-des-Sœurs stations. There is a bus service between these two stations. Normal service will gradually resume around 2:45 pm,” we read in the first update.
Eventually, the REM restart time continued to be pushed back, and finally at 4:45 a.m. activities gradually resumed.
The restoration of service took longer than expected, particularly due to the need to bring in snow removal crews to protect the structure of the Samuel-de-Champlain Bridge, where snow was falling, REM reported.
