TTC transit control may ask subway operators to reduce their speed through certain areas of the subway system as a safety precaution due to crews at track level performing ongoing maintenance on the tracks. These reduced speed zones mean that trains travel more slowly than normally in the area.

Here’s where reduced speed zones are in effect on Lines 1 and 2:

  • Line 1 Yonge - University
  • Both ways between Sumerhill and Davisville stations;
  • Both ways between Wellesley and College stations;
  • Both ways between Union and St Andrew stations;
  • Both ways between St George and Spadina stations;
  • Northbound between Union and King stations;
  • Northbound between Bloor - Yonge and Rosedale stations;
  • Northbound between Sheppard - Yonge and York Mills stations; and
  • Northbound between Museum and St George stations.
  • Line 2 Bloor -Danforth:
  • Eastbound between Sherbourne and Chester stations;
  • Eastbound between Victoria Park and Warden stations; and
  • Westbound between Runnymede and High Park stations.

At reduced speeds, trains are moving at between 15 and 25 kilometres per hour (km/h), compared to normal speeds of 40 to 50 km/h.
