Councillor David Hill says he has submitted an inquiry after Rideau Transit Group’s public testimony on Line 1, asking for clarity on why the O-Train originally derailed and what technical fixes are needed before service can return to full operations. Hill’s note says Line 1 is operating safely now because of continuing mitigations that were not meant to be the long-term fix, a useful accountability thread for Barrhaven and South Nepean riders who connect to the train.
