Broadview station shut down for second day in a row

For the second day in a row, Broadview Station was out of commission. 

Yesterday, the Line 2 station was shut down for just under five hours while police looked into a suspicious package was left in the vicinity. 

Shuttle buses had to operate between Castle Frank and Pape stations, bypassing Broadview while the package was investigated.

Today, a second suspicious package was found in the station, shutting it down for the second consecutive day.  Toronto police were called around 6:15 a.m., and trains and streetcars were bypassing Broadview, with shuttle buses operating.

Yesterday's package was determined to not be a threat to public safety, but the police believe it was meant to stir a reaction. 

Another day, another suspicious package at Broadview. Land of 1000 headaches! I feel for the #TTC staff who have to deal with all kinds of problems, especially when an idiot or two can cause such havoc.
.....also I’m grateful that I can walk to work
