This weekend on the TTC

Saturday

This Sat., Mar. 14, there will be no subway service on the portion of Line 1 between Sheppard-Yonge and Eglinton stations due to track maintenance.

Replacement shuttle buses will run along Yonge St., stopping at each station along the route. TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to shuttle boarding and offloading locations, which will vary from station to station. In addition to the shuttles, the 97 Yonge bus and the University side of Line 1 will be available as alternatives during the closure.

All stations will remain open for fare sales and access to surface routes and Line 4.

At York Mills Station, the Old York Mills Rd. entrance will be closed. Customers can use the other station entrances located in the York Mills Centre, Yonge Corporate Centre, and at the corner of Yonge St. and Wilson Ave.

At Lawrence Station, the automatic entrances at Ranleigh Ave. and Bedford Park Ave. will also be closed. Customers are advised to use the entrances at Yonge St. and Lawrence Ave.

Wheel-Trans will be available upon request from any station throughout the closure. Customers can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for more information about service frequency.
