Nine hours after derailing on the eastbound tracks near King Street West and Bathurst Street, a King streetcar was rolling again, and the eastbound 504 and 514 Cherry streetcars "resumed regular routing," the TTC said.

More than a dozen streetcars were backed up on King Street near Bathurst Street after one of the city's new streetcars derailed near the intersection at around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The 501, 504 and 514 streetcars were diverting and 14 shuttle buses were operating along the routes instead, TTC spokesperson Stuart Green told CBC News Tuesday afternoon.

When Abbas Hussain saw the long line of streetcars on King Street West, he hopped on his bike to get to his destination.

"I decided to bike it because I thought it’s not going to be worth it to wait,” Abbas Hussain told CBC News. (CBC)

"There are a whole bunch of streetcars in my neighbourhood and I decided to bike it because I thought it's not going to be worth it to wait," he told CBC.

According to Green, the derailment occurred when a new streetcar was pushing a disabled older streetcar through the intersection.

"You can imagine the pressure from pushing [the streetcar] and hitting debris [left by the morning rainfall] on the tracks all happening at the same time," he said.

Both streetcars were empty at the time.
