0 Update 7:25 a.m.: SkyTrain service has been restored system-wide. There's still no word as to the cause of the smoke on the train at Stadium Station.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - There are some problems this morning for commuters using SkyTrain.

Drew Snider with TransLink tells News1130 no trains are running between the Main Street and Waterfront Stations. "We're not sure what the cause was, but we discovered some smoke coming from one of the trains on the side track at Stadium Station."

"The fire department was called. For them to do their work, we had to power down everything from Main Street to Waterfront," he explains.

TransLink has set up a bus bridge for commuters heading downtown. People can also transfer to the 99 B-Line to go to Broadway-City Hall and take the Canada Line.

The Canada Line is running as normal.
