WATCH: Transit blogger Nathan Pachal joins Global News to discuss what might really be going on behind TransLinks’s service disruptions.

VANCOUVER – Some customers who took the SkyTrain Monday morning had to allow for extra time to get where they were going following a power failure that led to system-side delays.

An electrical problem at the Waterfront Station at 5:35 a.m. impacted trains travelling in both directions between Stadium and Waterfront. A trains ran between the two stations.

There were also reports of delays on other parts of the Expo and Millennium lines due to the Waterfront issue. Service was restored at 8:14 a.m.

On Monday afternoon, TransLink said the power failure occurred during track replacement work that was being done overnight. They are investigating the incident to determine the exact cause.
