TTC subway operators reducing speed through sections of the subway system: September 3 update



TTC_Reduced Speed Zones_2024-08-29.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, 2 and 4:

  • Line 1 Yonge - University:
  • Southbound between Finch and York Mills stations;
  • Southbound between Eglinton West and St Clair West stations;
  • Southbound between St Clair and Summerhill stations;
  • Northbound between Bloor and Rosedale stations;
  • Both ways between Union and St Andrew stations;
  • Both ways between Wellesley and Bloor stations;
  • Both ways between Dupont and St Clair West stations;
  • Both ways between St Clair and Davisville stations; and
  • Both ways between Glencairn and Sheppard West 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 Warden stations.
  • Line 4 Sheppard:
  • Westbound between Bayview and Sheppard - Yonge 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.
