TTC restoring streetcar service through King and Church from Sunday

Starting Sun., Aug. 31, the TTC is restoring 504/304 King streetcar service through the King St. E. and Church St. intersection, following successful testing and commissioning of new streetcar tracks and overhead power systems.

Beginning at the start of service on Sunday, the 504 King will resume operating as a branched service, with the 504A operating both ways between Dundas West Station and Distillery Loop, and the 504B between Broadview Station and Bathurst St. via King. 304 King Night streetcars will operate between Dundas West and Broadview stations. King bus replacements will end.

Changes to 503/303 Kingston Road

Also starting Sunday, buses will replace streetcars on the 503 Kingston Road route, with service between Bingham Loop at Victoria Park Ave. and Joe Shuster Way, augmenting capacity on King St. W. with 504B King streetcars shortened to Bathurst St.

303 Kingston Rd Night streetcar service will be discontinued. Night service will continue to be provided at all impacted stops by the 301 Queen, 304 King, and 322 Coxwell night routes.

508 Lake Shore service returns from Tuesday

Starting Tues., Sept. 2, 508 Lake Shore streetcar service will resume, operating during morning and afternoon peak periods to support downtown office commuters. Eastbound service will terminate at Distillery Loop, extending from Long Branch in the west.

The TTC is committed to keeping customers informed about work and events that impact service and about alternate routes. For the most up-to-date information, follow @TTCNotices on Twitter or sign up for eAlerts.
