• 124 SHERWAY (1984-1985)

Sunday, September 2, 2018

Service begins on the new 123 SHERWAY route, renaming the 123 SHORNCLIFFE route in order to more accurately reflect the character of the bus route. The revision also adds a peak-hour branch between Kipling station and Sherway Gardens via the West Mall, replicating the old 124 SHERWAY route from 1985.

Service operates in five main branches.

Buses on the 123B branch (Kipling station to Long Branch via East Mall and Sherway) operate from Kipling station via west on St. Albans Road, north on Aukland Road, west on Dundas Street West, south on Shorncliffe Road, west on North Queen Street, south on The East Mall, west on Evans Avenue, north on The West Mall, east on South Gate, south and east on Sherway Gardens Ring Road to Sherway Gardens bus terminal, continuing east on Sherway Gardens Ring Road, south on Sherway Gate, east on Evans Avenue, south on Browns Line, and west on Lake Shore Boulevard West to Long Branch Loop (on the north side of Lake Shore Boulevard West, west of Browns Line).

This service operates on weekdays during rush hours and midday. The 123A branch follows the 123C routing between Kipling station and Sherway Gardens only, but is not currently scheduled to operate.
