The TTC is closing Line 1 Yonge - University subway between York Mills and Eglinton stations earlier than usually from Monday, October 19 until Thursday, October 22. Line 1 trains operate only between Finch and York Mills stations and between Eglinton and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre stations after 11 p.m. those evenings.

Shuttle buses partially replace subway service. The buses drop off or pick up passengers at stops near each station on the closed section of the line. TTC staff are available in each to station to direct you to the shuttle-bus boarding and offloading locations.

(Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)

All stations on the closed section of Line 1 remain open so you can pay fares, buy or load a PRESTO card or PRESTO ticket and connect to TTC or GO Transit buses and Line 5 Eglinton trains. However, the TTC is closing the Ranleigh and Bedford Park accesses to and from Lawrence Station after 11 p.m.

Although shuttle buses are accessible, Wheel-Trans service is also available. You can also board buses along the 97A / 97B Yonge route, which operate north of St Clair Station. Islington Station doesn’t have an elevator so it isn’t accessible.

While this section of Line 1 is closed, TTC crews are maintaining the tracks.

According to a TTC news release, crews are installing communication cables and upgrading infrastructure. During the closure, crews are also improving tunnel drainage and installing new electrical cables and power connections “that supply electricity to subway trains and support reliable service.”

The release continues, “While the TTC does most subway maintenance after service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.”

Shuttle buses

(We’ve based this part of the post by reviewing Transit Toronto posts during other closures of this section of Line 1. Information available from TransSee during a previous closure is also a source for this information. TransSee is a web application that provides real-time bus tracking and predicts the location of the next vehicles at a stop. Note that information in this part of the post is unofficial — the TTC may operate buses with an alternate service pattern.)

Southbound shuttle buses start their trips on York Mills Road, beside the entrance / exit for York Mills Station, then proceed:

eastward along York Mills;
southward along Yonge Street;
westward along Berwick Avenue; and then
northward into Eglinton Station bus terminal,
ending their trips.

Northbound buses start their trips in Eglinton Station bus terminal, then proceed:

northward along Yonge Street;
eastward along Old York Mills Road; and then
westward along York Mills Road to beside the entrance / exit for York Mills Station,
ending their trips.

Shuttle-bus alternatives

Plan your trips on the subway ahead of time to avoid stress and crowds. Leave extra time in your schedule and expect longer travelling times those days.

While shuttle buses operate frequently, they will be crowded.

Regular TTC buses and streetcars provide less frequent, less direct, but, perhaps, less stressful alternatives. Consider travelling along the University branch, instead of the Yonge branch, to and from downtown Toronto and avoid the shuttle buses entirely.

Ride buses or streetcars along routes serving streets north or south of the closure to reach stations on the University branch.

North of the closure area:

• Buses along the 36 Finch West route and board the subway at Finch West Station, instead of Finch Station.
• Buses along the 84 Sheppard West route and board the subway at Sheppard West Station, instead of Sheppard - Yonge Station.

At the closure area:

• Buses along the 96 Wilson or 165 Weston Rd North routes and board the subway at Wilson Station, instead of York Mills Station.
• Buses along the 52 Lawrence West route and board the subway at Lawrence West Station, instead of Lawrence Station.
• Buses along the 34 Eglinton route and board the subway at Cedarvale Station, instead of Eglinton Station.

South of the closure area

• Streetcars along the 512 St. Clair route and board the subway at St. Clair West Station, instead of St. Clair Station.
• Trains along Line 2 Bloor - Danforth and board Line 1 Yonge - University at St. George Station, instead of Yonge Station.
• Buses along the 506B Carlton route and board the subway at Queen’s Park Station, instead of College Station.
• Streetcars along the 506 Carlton route and board the subway at Queen’s Park Station, instead of TMU Station.
• Streetcars along the 505 Dundas route and board the subway at St. Patrick Station, instead of TMU Station.
• Streetcars along the 501 Queen route and board the subway at Osgoode Station, instead of near Queen Station.
• Streetcars along the 504A / 504B King route and board the subway at St. Andrew Station, instead of King Station.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

The TTC is closing Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Kipling and Jane stations earlier than usually from Monday, October 19 until Friday, October 23. Line 2 subway trains operate only between Jane and Kennedy stations after 11:59 p.m. those days.

Shuttle buses partially replace subway service. The buses drop off or pick up passengers in or near the bus terminals at each station. TTC staff are available in each station to direct you to the shuttle-bus boarding and offloading locations.

(Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)

All stations on the closed section of Line 2 remain open, so you can pay fares, load PRESTO fare cards, buy PRESTO tickets and connect to TTC, GO Transit and MiWay buses. However, the Grenview Boulevard access into and out of Royal York Station is closed after 11:59 p.m.

Although shuttle buses are accessible, Wheel-Trans service is also available. You can also board buses along the 149 Etobicoke - Bloor accessibility shuttle route, which operate between Kipling and Jane stations. Islington Station doesn’t have an elevator so it isn’t accessible.

While this part of Line 2 is closed, TTC crews are maintaining the tracks.

According to a TTC news release, crews are specifically maintaining the tracks near Islington Station and maintaining track switches near Kipling Station. During the closures, crews are also installing communication cables and repairing sections of the tunnel floor and maintenance walkways between Royal York and Old Mill stations. The TTC explains that “This work supports the ongoing state of good repair of the subway system and helps ensure reliable service for [passengers].”

The release continues, “While the TTC does most subway maintenance after service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.”

The TTC is closing this section of Line 2 at least twice more during October:

• Saturday, October 24 — Kipling to Jane — infrastructure work.
• Sunday, October 25 — Kipling to Keele — infrastructure work.

Shuttle-bus alternatives

One way that you can reduce the impact of the closure is by planning ahead, leaving earlier than usually and giving yourself more time to get to where you’re going.

Although shuttle buses replacing subway service will be frequent, they may also be crowded.

Regular TTC buses provide less frequent, less direct, but, perhaps, less stressful alternatives.

• Board buses along the 149 Etobicoke - Bloor route to travel between Kipling and Jane stations.
• Board buses along the 40A Junction - Dundas West route to travel between Kipling and Dundas West stations.

^ Streetcar detours and replacement bus service from 4 a.m. until 11 p.m.

^ Streetcar detours and replacement bus service from 11 p.m. until 4 a.m.

Shuttle buses replace streetcar north of College Street or north of Dundas Street West.

Crews are working on the Spadina Avenue corridor:

• in the Spadina Station streetcar terminal tunnel entrance (south of Bloor Street West): Overnight drain cleaning, using a vacuum truck.
• between Harbord and Willcocks streets: repairing tracks in the streetcar right-of-way. (Crews work “around the clock.”)
• between Oxford and St. Andrew streets: grinding the rails from 11 p.m. until 4 a.m. each night.

Streetcar-infrastructure work on the Spadina corridor and the resulting TTC detours continue until September 21 (11 p.m.)

As part of its program to maintain the streetcar tracks in a state of good repair, the TTC is grinding the rail on several sections of its streetcar network that have developed some rail roughness. Rail grinding improves the condition of the rail surface to help reduce noise and vibration, extend the life of the rail and provide a smoother ride for passengers through those areas.

The TTC is operating Line 1 Yonge - University subway trains in both directions along a single track only between Vaughan Metropolitan and Finch West stations after 11 p.m. from Tuesday, October 13 until Thursday October 15.

During single-track operation, both south- and northbound trains may operate along a single set of tracks, while crews work on the opposite tracks. Expect delays of as long as 15 minutes at stations between Vaughan and Finch West. Trains also operate more slowly than usually between these stations.

Southbound trains entering Highway 407, Pioneer Village, York University and Finch West stations arrive on the opposite side from where they normally arrive — on the northbound platform. When you arrive at Finch West Station you’ll have to transfer trains to continue your southward trip.

All stations on this section of Line 1 remain open so you can buy or load PRESTO fare cards, buy PRESTO tickets and connect to TTC, Brampton Transit, GO Transit or York Region Transit buses.

TTC staff will be available on-site in each station to help and direct you to various services. Wheel-Trans is also available.

In a news release, the TTC explains that single-track operation allows crews to “install mounting hardware and radio communication cables to support more reliable communications infrastructure in this area of the system.”

The release continues, “While the TTC does most subway maintenance after service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.”

The TTC is closing Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Kipling and Jane stations earlier than usually from Tuesday, October 13 until Friday, October 16. Line 2 subway trains operate only between Jane and Kennedy stations after 11:59 p.m. those days.

Shuttle buses partially replace subway service. The buses drop off or pick up passengers in or near the bus terminals at each station. TTC staff are available in each station to direct you to the shuttle-bus boarding and offloading locations.

(Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)

All stations on the closed section of Line 2 remain open, so you can pay fares, load PRESTO fare cards, buy PRESTO tickets and connect to TTC, GO Transit and MiWay buses. However, the Grenview Boulevard access into and out of Royal York Station is closed after 11:59 p.m.

Although shuttle buses are accessible, Wheel-Trans service is also available. You can also board buses along the 149 Etobicoke - Bloor accessibility shuttle route, which operate between Kipling and Jane stations. Islington Station doesn’t have an elevator so it isn’t accessible.

While this part of Line 2 is closed, TTC crews are maintaining the tracks. According to a TTC news release, the work includes “ongoing communication and signal cable installation between Islington and Old Mill stations, maintenance on the tracks near Islington Station and of the track switches near Kipling Station. Crews will also take advantage of the subway closure to perform track, infrastructure and track switch inspections to identify and address wear before it can impact service. Together, this work will improve the reliability of critical systems and infrastructure, support smoother train operations and help reduce the likelihood of future service disruptions for [passengers].”

The release continues, “While the TTC does most subway maintenance after service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.”

The TTC is closing this section of Line 2 at least once more during October:

• Monday, October 19 until Friday, October 23 — Kipling to Jane — close early — track work.

Shuttle-bus alternatives

One way that you can reduce the impact of the closure is by planning ahead, leaving earlier than usually and giving yourself more time to get to where you’re going.

Although shuttle buses replacing subway service will be frequent, they may also be crowded.

Regular TTC buses provide less frequent, less direct, but, perhaps, less stressful alternatives.

• Board buses along the 149 Etobicoke - Bloor route to travel between Kipling and Jane stations.
• Board buses along the 40A Junction - Dundas West route to travel between Kipling and Dundas West stations.

Inbound buses operate toward downtown.

Outbound buses operate away from downtown.

The TTC is delaying the start of service along Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Broadview and St George stations Thanksgiving, Monday, October 12. All Line 2 trains operate only between Kennedy and Broadview stations and between Kipling and St George stations before 11 a.m. that day.

Shuttle buses partially replace subway service between the two stations, stopping on the street near stations on the closed section of the line.

(Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)

Most stations on the closed section of Line 2 remain open so you can pay fares, buy or load a PRESTO card, PRESTO ticket or connect with buses, streetcars and Line 1 Yonge - University subway trains. However, Sherbourne and Bay stations are closed before 11 a.m. Note that the TTC is also closing the Yonge Street access to Line 2 at Bloor - Yonge Station

Although shuttle buses are accessible, extra Wheel-Trans service is also available between Broadview and St George stations. Ask staff in each station for information about Wheel-Trans service.

While this section of Line 2 is closed, City of Toronto contractors work under the Prince Edward Viaduct to replace beams. TTC crews are also maintaining the infrastructure.

According to a TTC news release, “The improvements will help ensure a smoother ride for [passengers] and maintain the safety and long-term reliability of the viaduct.”

Shuttle buses

(We’ve based this part of the post on information the TTC supplied during previous occasions that it closed the subway between Broadview and St George. Note that this is unofficial information. The TTC may decide to operate buses with a different service pattern this time.)

At Broadview Station, buses drop off passengers on Broadview Avenue beside the subway station entrance / exit. They then loop along Broadview, Erindale, Hurndale and Danforth Avenues. The buses pick up passengers on the north side of Danforth, before heading westward toward St George Station.

The shuttle buses operate along Danforth Avenue, the Prince Edward Viaduct and Bloor streets east and west. They drop off or pick up passengers at the intersections nearest to all other subway stations on the closed section of the line:

• at Castle Frank Road, Sherbourne, Yonge and Bay Streets.

At St George Station, buses drop off passengers on St. George Street beside the station entrance / exit. They then loop along St. George, Prince Arthur Avenue and Bedford Road. The buses pick up passengers on the west side of Bedford beside the subway station entrance / exit, before heading eastward toward Broadview Station.

One way that you can reduce the impact of the closure is by planning ahead, leaving earlier than usually and giving yourself more time to get to where you’re going.

Regular TTC streetcars provide less frequent, less direct, but, perhaps, less stressful alternatives. Consider boarding streetcars at or east of the closure area to by-pass the crowds, if you’re travelling to and from downtown.

• Board streetcars along the 504B King route at Broadview Station. Connect with Line 1 Yonge - University subway at King or St Andrew stations.
• Board streetcars along the 505 Dundas route at Broadview Station. Connect with Line 1 Yonge - University subway at TMU or St Patrick stations.
• Board streetcars along the 506 Carlton route at Main Street Station. Connect with Line 1 Yonge - University subway at College or Queen’s Park stations.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

The TTC is closing Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Kipling and Jane stations Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11. Line 2 subway trains operate only between Jane and Kennedy stations those days.

Although shuttle buses are accessible, Wheel-Trans service is also available. You can also board buses along the 149 Etobicoke - Bloor accessibility shuttle route, which operate between Kipling and Jane stations. Islington Station doesn’t have an elevator so it isn’t accessible.

While this part of Line 2 is closed, TTC crews are maintaining the infrastructure.

According to a TTC news release, crews are completing “important infrastructure upgrades between Islington and Royal York stations. The work includes installing new communications and signal equipment, upgrading electrical connections that supply power to trains, and replacing power cables at Royal York Station. Crews will also install additional CCTV camera cabling on storage tracks near Kipling Station to enhance safety and improve monitoring of trains when they are not in service. Completing this work will strengthen the reliability of the subway’s power, signal and communications systems and help reduce the risk of service disruptions.”

The TTC is closing this section of Line 2 at least once more during October:

• Tuesday, October 13 until Friday, October 16 — Kipling to Jane — close early — track work.
