Service begins on this route, renumbered and renamed from 4 ANNETTE the day before. The change was made to better reflect the area served, and to free up the route number for use by the SHEPPARD SUBWAY the next year.

Due to disruption from the reconstruction of the bus roadway at Jane station, buses on 26 DUPONT are temporarily extended to loop out of Old Mill station for approximately seven months. Buses operate over the normal route to Jane Street and Bloor, and then continue west on Bloor and north on Old Mill Trail to Old Mill station, returning via Old Mill Trail, east on Bloor and rejoining the regular route at Jane. Buses serve two temporary stops, a southbound one at Bloor between Old Mill Drive and Jane and a northbound stop in front of the main entrance to Jane station. Buses are added to maintain current service levels. This change was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 31, 2019, but delays to the construction made the TTC wait until the start of the next board period.

Last day of operation to Old Mill station. With the completion of work at Jane station, service into that station is restored.
