According to the senior manager at metrolinx, it is estimated that 1,500 to 2,000 people wait for every Milton GO Train train, which means it is difficult to provide buses for everyone. People are advised to use TTC, Mississauga Transit, LSW, Kitchener while the line resumes its regular schedule.

Police say the cause is still unknown. The fire crew is still on scene and are working to extinguish the blaze. According to police, the fire appears to be somewhat under control at this time.
