Temporary Outage of Light Rail in Bus Tunnel [FIXED! NOPE! NOT FIXED!]

Says Sound Transit: "Central Link light rail service has been temporarily suspended in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel due to a loss of power at one of the stations and associated impacts to systems for controlling tunnel equipment. Crews are working to address the issue and expect to restore service soon. Bus service in the tunnel is continuing at this time. Northbound light rail trains are stopping and turning south at Stadium Station. Bus service northward into downtown Seattle is available just to the west of Stadium Station at the intersection of the Busway and Royal Brougham Way. Light rail service between Stadium Station and Tukwila International Boulevard Station remains in operation." [UPDATE: As of a 10:57 a.m. email, they're rolling in the tunnel once more! WHOOPS! As of an 11:25 a.m. email, they're not rolling. Buses are still rolling in the tunnel, but light rail is not. Crews working feverishly, etc.]

    We were in SoDo Costco while this was happening, and there was a helicopter, then 2, overhead. I knew something was up, and then the radio explained it all.



    But I have to wonder - what were the choppers broadcasting? The fascinating sight of no trains leaving the tunnel?



    Someone, please - euthanasia for the local TV stations. Pretty clear they've been brain dead for quite a while.
