Most UP Express train cars 'condemned' after thermal cracks found in brake discs: unionMost of the fleet servicing the UP Express has been removed from operation after thermal cracks were discovered in the vehicle brake discs, according to the maintenance and operators’ union and confirmed by several sources, leaving Metrolinx with only four train cars in service for the rail link connecting Pearson International Airport to downtown Toronto. The service is at 1 hour intervals, not just 30 mins! Another Metrolinx failure. 'condemned'? Very alarming language if indeed the brakes just need repairs, as the article seems to suggest.

Express buses? What a screw up!!! Utter incompetence!
