Seattle light rail power issues: Service suspended through central transit corridor
SEATTLE - Sound Transit disrupted morning light rail service through Seattle's central transit corridor Thursday following power issues near the University of Washington Station, which have since been resolved.
Sound Transit said Friday morning that repairs to the overhead power system near the University of Washington Station were completed, and regular Link service has resumed.
Light rail service reduced between Northgate, Stadium, Judkins Park
The backstory:
The service disruption, which began shortly before 7 a.m., caused significant delays across both the 1 Line and 2 Line networks.
Transit officials announced that 2 Line trains would terminate at Capitol Hill Station, while some westbound 2 Line trains may be forced to turn back earlier at Judkins Park Station.
The agency also reported reduced service in the core transit corridor between Northgate, Stadium and Judkins Park stations.
Commuters were urged to plan for additional travel time and to seek alternate routes.
