Monday – Thursday nightly single-track operation between Sheppard West and Finch West stations
Mon., Jun. 17 to Thurs., Jun. 20, subway service on the portion of Line 1 Yonge-University between Sheppard West and Finch West stations will operate on a single track, nightly from 11 p.m., to enable tunnel work on the northbound track. Northbound customers will need to change trains at Sheppard West Station. Longer than normal travel times of approximately 20 minutes can be expected.
While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the conclusion of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.
Reduced subway speed zones
The TTC is advising customers travelling on several portions of Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth of reduced speed zones, which may result in longer than normal travel times along certain sections of the subway.
As a safety precaution, the TTC reduces speed along sections of rail where maintenance is required, allowing trains to run safely during service hours while minimizing disruptions to customers. They also protect workers who may be required at track level to conduct routine or emergency inspections.
Customers are encouraged to plan ahead and consider the additional time they may need for their trips. A complete list of current reduced speed zones can be found on the TTC website at: https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service/Reduced-Speed-Zones.
The TTC is committed to keeping customers informed about work and events that impact service, as well as alternate route options. For the most up-to-date information, follow @TTCNotices on X or sign up for eAlerts.
