🚇 Bizarre Montréal Métro scenes during afternoon rush hour service slowdown - Wed., Nov. 22, 2023 🏮

During the afternoon rush hour on Wednesday, November 22, 2023, one of the most interesting metro service disruptions I witnessed occured on the Organe Line of the Montreal Metro System. As you can see, metro trains were entering Lionel-Groulx metro station very slowly and then sometimes suddenly stopping halfway into the station before resuming again. Some then went onto manual control mode which then appeared to cause the white headlight and red tail light to blink on either end of the AZUR train sets. In fact, this apparently was happening all along the Orange Line 🟠 in different combinations of either trains being placed on manual mode, or trains entering stations slowly and stopping halfway, trains having their headlights and tail lights flash or trains stopping for long periods of time at stations. This seemed to all begin at approximately 5:20 PM or so. The official announcement said that there was a service slowdown because of a problem with equipment on the tracks going in the Montmorency direction of the Orange Line. However, it seemed both directions were effected to work extent as you can see in this video. I'm not sure what exactly happened, but there was no major service stoppage as a result. The video they I filmed here started at approximately 5:40 PM Eastern Canadian Time on Wednesday, November 22, 2023. We were on AZUR Set 67 in the video going in the Montmorency direction and get off at Georges-Vanier metro station. Then we were on AZUR Set 13 in the Côte-Vertu direction where we get back off at Lionel-Groulx metro station. Note: I am supposed to be taking a break from getting content as I fight a respiratory infection, but this all happened on my regularly scheduled commute from work so I decided to film it anyway. Thank you all for watching!
