Yonge-University-Spadina Subway

• Starting Tuesday, September 3, we're discontinuing the short turning of trains northbound at St. Clair West Station during the afternoon rush hour period.  This will provide more convenient service to customers and help to improve the reliability of subway service over the entire line.  Approximately 34,000 customers who begin or end their trip north of St. Clair West Station will benefit from having their service almost doubled.  And by not turning trains and blending them back into service in the middle of the route it means there's less chance for problems which could affect the reliability of service over the entire route.

• At this time, alternate trains will continue to be short turned at St. Clair West Station during the morning rush hour.
