	Transit Toronto - Content: A History of the Original Yonge Subway
		As Union Station became the hub of a large and growing commuter train network known as GO Transit, the mezzanine level at the TTC's Union station was expanded and reconfigured to handle the additional loads, and even to allow people not taking the TTC to cross through it to the Royal Bank Centre.
		The first plan to emerge in the early 1980s was a proposal to construct a Downtown Relief line from Pape station on the Bloor-Danforth subway to Union Station.
		These were replaced by extra streetcars operating on the Bloor route, and a revised Danforth tripper that ran from Luttrell to Bedford Loop, making connections with the Yonge subway at Bloor station.

	Bloor (GO Station) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bloor has a connection with TTC's Dundas West Station, but unlike Kipling, Kennedy, and Union, it requires the commuter to leave the TTC property in order to transfer GO Transit services (and vice-versa).
		Bloor GO Station is a GO Transit train station along the Georgetown rail corridor.
		Another pair of tracks run west of the station, but lead to the Canadian Pacific Railway 's East-West corridor, turning west at the West Toronto Diamond, just north of Bloor Station, and are also used by GO Transit for their Milton commuter rail line.

		Instead, a proposed extension on the Danforth end of the Bloor-Danforth line was built in 1985 as the Scarborough RT (light rail transit) line, which went from Kennedy to McCowan Station.
		And in 1980, the Bloor-Danforth Line was extended once again, to the current termini of Kipling Station on the west end and Kennedy Station on the east.
		In 1973, the Yonge subway line was extended north to York Mills Station, and the next year it was as far north as Finch Station.

	Bloor-Yonge (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bloor-Yonge is a station on the Yonge-University Spadina line and the Bloor-Danforth Line of the Toronto subway.
		Bloor is one of the busiest stations in the system, and in 1992 the TTC took advantage of building construction over the station to open it out and widen the platforms.
		The station was originally simply named 'Bloor', and connected with a pair of enclosed platforms in the center of Bloor Street to allow interchange with Bloor streetcars within the fare-paid zone.

	Bloor-Danforth (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Bloor-Danforth line was built in 1966, going under Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue from Keele station in the west to Woodbine station in the east.
		In 1980, the line was extended once again, to the current termini of Kipling station in the west end and Kennedy station in the east.
		The line generally does not run under Bloor Street or Danforth Avenue themselves, but is offset to the north: in some areas it runs under a parking alley behind the businesses on the north side of the street, while some other sections run under side streets.

	Transit Toronto - Content: GO Train/Toronto Subway Connections Current and Proposed
		Although the Stouffville line also passes close to Lawrence East and Ellesmere stations, a location near Kennedy station was clearly more convenient, as it requires just one transfer to go from the Stouffville train to either the Scarborough Town Centre or west along the Bloor-Danforth line.
		Passengers leaving Bloor station exit the platform at the southern end, proceed down a dank stairwell to the Bloor Street underpass beneath the CN tracks, and then have to walk a half block in the open air to get to the entrance of Dundas West station.
		GO’s Milton line is the exception to the rule in that it operates on CP tracks.

	Articles - Yonge-University-Spadina (TTC)
		In 1978, the Spadina segment of the line was opened, going from the north terminus of the University line to Wilson station.
		In 1973, the line was extended north to York Mills station, and the next year to Finch station.
		This line is expected to see the next major phase of expansion, the Spadina North extension, which will bring the line to York University, four kilometres northwest of Downsview station.

	Transport 2000 Ontario - Toronto Olympics Paper
		A connection between GO and TTC rapid transit facilities at Kennedy Station on the Bloor-Danforth line has been proposed by GO Transit, apparently as a permanent facility.
		Eastern Harbour might be rendered more accessible to GO Transit services through re-instating the former CN Riverdale Station at Queen and Degrassi Streets and the CP-CN Don Station at Queen and Bayview Extension.
		A number of temporary stops on the GO lines near the centre of the city, together with augmented service on these lines, may ease some of the probable transfer problems at Union Station.

	Transit Toronto - Content: Toronto's Lost Subway Stations
		A connection to the west of St. George Station was easily accomplished, and to complete the wye, tracks were built northeast from a junction just north of Museum Station to a station beneath Bay Station on the Bloor Line, before linking up with the Bloor tracks just west of Yonge Station.
		When Osgoode Station was built, sewer pipes and electrical lines were moved to one side of Queen Street to make the construction of a Lower Osgoode station easier (just in case it was built).
		Lower Bay station is far better known to Torontonians, as it is a station that actually saw passengers for the early part of its existence before being abandoned.

	City of Toronto Archives: Yonge Street Subway construction views
		This platform in the centre of Bloor Street was removed in 1966 when the east-west Bloor-Danforth subway line (originally Keele to Woodbine stations only) was built and streetcars were discontinued on Bloor Street.
		Also at Davisville station was the control panel for the automatic block signal system that used red, green, and yellow lights to direct subway drivers.
		Directly west of Davisville station was built Davisville yard, including storage for 104 subway cars and a 69,000-square-foot shop equipped for minor repair and maintenance of subway cars (major work would be done at the larger Hillcrest shop at Bathurst Street and Davenport Road).

		The original Bloor-Danforth line was built in 1966, going under Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue from Keele station in the west to Woodbine station in the east.
		Two kilometres further on Bloor East, crossing the Bloor Street Viaduct, it continues just north of Danforth Avenue for six more kilometres before turning northeast for the final five kilometres, ending at Kennedy station (near Kennedy Road and Eglinton Avenue) which is also the southern terminus of the Scarborough RT.
		The line generally does not run under Bloor Street or Danforth Avenue themselves, but is offset to the north: in some areas it runs under a parking alley behind the businesses on the north side of the street, while some other sections run under side streets.

	COMMISSION REPORT MACRO
		Based on the most-recent GO passenger surveys, approximately 400 passengers per day, in each direction, use the GO Danforth Station, split relatively equally between passengers travelling to and from Union Station and those arriving by GO train from other destinations and travelling to locations in the area.
		These passengers are destined either to locations close to the station or along the Bloor-Danforth subway line.
		The City is completing a study of ways of improving the person-carrying capacity of transportation services in the Don Valley corridor and this study is considering the potential for additional GO stations.

	Infiltration: Toronto Subways
		The beautiful Bloor Station is the second busiest station on the line, with 165,000 passengers passing through each day.
		Next on the line is the Bloor-Danforth segment of Spadina, where the doors beyond the gates are nicely unlocked.
		In a startling contrast to Downsview, Wilson is the ugliest and worst-planned station on the line, decorated with brownish-yellow paint and artificial plants, which inspire deep feelings of pity.

	Madrid metro
		During 1966-68, the east-west Bloor-Danforth line was built; it was interlined with the Yonge-University line in the beginning, with trains running down the Yonge line and then alternately east or west from Museum station onto the Bloor-Danforth line; however, this proved ineffective and was eventually cancelled.
		Whereas in Montreal one might take the green line towards Honoré-Beaugrand, in Toronto one would take the eastbound Bloor-Danforth line.
		Campo de las Naciones (Line 8) - This station, built to serve the Madrid Fairgrounds, is thematically decorated with a mural depicting the flags and faces of the world.

	QUEEN STREET SUBWAY
		A revival of the Queen route could extend west to join the Bloor line at Kipling Station and then continue north-west along an existing Hydro right-of-way to Pearson Airport, described in detail in a later section.
		One option for a future surface-route rapid transit line to the Airport is via the vacant land hydro corridor leading from the Kipling Avenue subway station north and northwest to the Hwy.
		This rapid transit line would meet with the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Martin Grove Road where a station, ultimately forming part of an Eglinton Avenue rapid transit system, could be installed.

	Transit Toronto - Content: Bus Trivia Answers Archive
		The answer we were looking for was Eglinton East, 34, which connects with the Yonge-University-Spadina subway at Eglinton station and with the Bloor-Danforth subway and the Scarborough RT at Kennedy station.
		When the Yonge and Bloor subways were opened and extended, several through routes were cut in half and routed into their connecting stations.
		In the case of the Bloor-Danforth subway, "South" was used more often than "North", since the line was far enough south in the city to make the northern portion of the through routes significantly longer than the southern stubs.

	What's so special about Dundas West? Ask MetaFilter
		I travel quite frequently westbound on the Bloor-Danforth line, and I've noticed that on every trip almost 1/3 of the passengers disembark at Dundas West station.
		And anyway, I don't know why one would go West on the TTC only to get off and go East on a streetcar.
		My knowledge of the city is very limited and just from looking at maps, I can't quite figure out why so many people would get off at that station.
