Transit Toronto

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.”

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.”

Since late 2025, City of Toronto contractors have been working on a major construction project to improve

• Danforth Avenue between Victoria Park Avenue and Main Street.

Starting 7 a.m. Monday, October 5, the City is reopening the eastbound lanes of Danforth between Main and Dawes Road and closing the eastbound lanes to all traffic between Victoria Park and Dawes. Westbound lanes remain open to traffic.

The TTC continues to detour buses along these routes, while the traffic lanes are closed:

• 20 Cliffside;
• 113 Danforth;
• 300 Bloor - Danforth overnight.

Since traffic lanes between Dawes and Main are open again, buses along the 23 Dawes route have resumed their regular path.

The TTC has been detouring the buses since Wednesday, August 12.

This phase of construction on Danforth Avenue and the resulting TTC detours continue until October 30.

During this project, the contractors are:

• replacing the sanitary sewer, sanitary service lateral pipes and the City-owned portion of substandard water services between Victoria Park Avenue and #2932 Danforth;
• replacing the storm sewer between #3036 Danforth to Eldon Avenue;
• replacing the water-main between Dawes Road and Main Street;
• replacing the water-main between Victoria Park and Sibley avenues; and
• improving the bike lanes by resurfacing the roadway between Victoria Park and Main.

(Transit buffs will note that part of this project includes removing buried streetcar tracks between Luttrell Avenue and Main Street. The TTC last regularly used the tracks on May 11, 1968, the day it extended Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway service between Warden and Woodbine stations.)

Nuit Blanche, Toronto’s annual all-night arts festival takes place this weekend and the TTC is offering festival-goers all-night subway service to help them travel to and from the various venues this weekend.
