TTC subway operators reducing speed through sections of the subway system: August 6 update



TTC_Reduced Speed Zones_2024-08-06.jpg

TTC transit control continues to 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:
  • Southbound between Lawrence West and Glencairn stations;
  • Southbound between St Clair and Summerhill stations;
  • Southbound between King and Union stations;
  • Northbound between Museum and St George stations;
  • Northbound between Bloor and Rosedale stations;
  • Northbound between Wilson and Sheppard West stations;
  • Both ways between Union and St Andrew stations;
  • Both ways between Wellesley and Bloor stations;
  • Both ways between St George and Spadina stations;
  • Both ways between Dupont and St Clair West stations; and
  • Both ways between Lawrence West and Wilson stations.
  • Line 2 Bloor -Danforth:
  • Eastbound between Coxwell and Woodbine stations;
  • Westbound between Jane and Old Mill stations;
  • Westbound between Castle Frank and Sherbourne stations; and
  • Both ways between Victoria Park and Kennedy stations.

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