Now the message has changed, to "minor delays" but I've hardly seen any LRVs.

Very strange, it seems related to the shooting last night, but there is no apparent reason that should be causing delays or detours like this. Buses have been detoured (apparently there was a GO bus trying to navigate Eby and Church Sts.) but the tracks are not blocked.

Sounds like maybe you caught the end of the disruption. Do you know if the regular traffic lanes of Charles St. were closed? Just speculating, but I can imagine that after shooting they might scan for evidence and wouldn’t want traffic of any kind going through the area where they are looking. If it’s just the LRT then I’m stumped.

The regular traffic lanes of Charles were closed when I walked past around 9:45

The confusing part was seeing multiple LRVs traveling south, with passengers, along side the 301R buses. Meanwhile seeing zero northbound trains.  We were out for over an hour from 8:30 - 9:45+, and the shooting was at 2 AM, with sunrise before 6 AM, I understand disruptions having ripple effects, but this really did seem strange.
