The organization responsible for Montreal’s new light-rail train line says it’s looking into the situation after track switch problems led to two service disruptions within 24 hours of the network’s official launch on Monday.

It emerged today that a second service interruption occurred at around 11 p.m. Monday and lasted about an hour, during which time would-be riders were directed to shuttle buses.
