Subway scare now said to be “ground water with oil”

Subway service has resumed after today’s shutdown between Union and Bloor stations because of a spill which was at first thought to be kerosene or fuel oil. The officially unknown substance was found leaking into the tunnel from an expansion joint about 500 feet north of College Station shortly after midnight, prompting the closure. Later today TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said  it was likely just “ground water with some latent oil that was sitting there” mixed in.
