If you are heading downtown by subway this weekend, keep in mind there is partial closure on the Yonge-University stretch of Line 1 but the TTC says shuttle buses won’t be running.
Trains won’t be running between St. George and St. Andrew stations on Saturday and Sunday due to planned station work.
Museum, Queen’s Park, St. Patrick and Osgoode stations will be closed but other subway stations will remain open for riders to buy Presto fares and connect to surface routes.
With no shuttle buses running during the service disruption, the TTC says riders travelling along the Yonge side of Line 1 can connect to surface routes going east and west in the downtown core.
The TTC provided the following surface and subway route options:
- Line 2 to Bloor-Yonge Station to connect to Line 1 to St. Andrew Station
- Queen’s Park Station – Take a 506 Carlton streetcar eastbound to College Station
- 94 Wellesley bus connects to Wellesley Station, route runs between Ossington and Castle Frank stations
- St. Patrick Station – Take a 505 Dundas streetcar eastbound to Dundas Station
- Osgoode Station – Take a 501 Queen streetcar eastbound to Yonge Street and Adelaide Street West, and head south to King Station or north to Queen Station
The TTC says Wheel-Trans service will be available for customers who require assistance. All of the stations listed above are accessible, except for College Station.
Regular subway service between St. George and St. Andrew stations is expected to resume at 6 a.m. on Monday.
