Subway service has resumed along a five-station stretch of Line 1 following a fire on the tracks at St. Clair station early Tuesday morning.

Trains had been turning back at Bloor-Yonge and Eglinton stations since around 7:45 a.m. but the issue was cleared up and full service resumed at around 9 a.m.

The TTC is investigating the cause of the fire.

“There was smoke emitting from a signal close to St. Clair Station. We still have our signal maintainers and electricians on scene and they will continue to look at this as soon as the rush hour is over,” TTC Spokesperson Jessica Martin told CP24.

About 60 shuttle buses were running during the suspension of service.
