West Coast Express back to normal service, slide cleared in Maple Ridge

A mudslide in Maple Ridge has been cleared from the railway tracks, and the West Coast Express will run on time Friday evening, March 20.

The commuter trains were stopped from reaching the easternmost stations after heavy rains brought a slide onto the Canadian Pacific Kansas City tracks near the Port Haney Station. Riders had their evening commute disrupted on Thursday night, diverted to Skytrain and buses to get back home.

TransLink said the issue is resolved and normal service will resume this afternoon.
