Lived near Summerhill station in 1967 as a young kid from the UK for the summer. Wondered why we had to cross the road to go down into a 'subway' as those were the names for underground foot road crossings in the UK! Loved going on the trains and the now gone 50's trollybusses which accelerated really fast. Came back to UK at the end of '67 but did return for a holiday in '95. The blue light on the panel on the end of the platform at 11:12 was there in '67 (or a near identical one) as I always remembered seeing it and wondering what it was for. Presumably to show if the track power is on but I was only 5 back then.
I still remember the old, squeally and noisy red-coloured trains with the cheap vinyl cushion seats. I also remember that instead of the door open/close chime they had somebody blow a whistle from the train window, instead. I can barely remember old Eglinton station before it was renovated; it was kind of set up like Islington Station is with the seperate bus bays.
There will be! I have one planned soon that will end up at St Clair Station if all gods to plan... I'm always going to do a walk through St Clair West.
I have this subtle memory that back when I was a baby waiting for the train on the southbound platform of St. Clair, one of those maintenance trains you see at Davisville yards zipped past through the station. I think it was one of those flatbed trains. At the time, I thought I was seeing things as you don't see them often. I don't know why I still remember it to this day as it's very random. As for observing the video, there's nothing special to write home about, and I keep wondering why the tunnel between St. Clair and Summerhill is so spacious.
You'll often see those pass through Davisville but they're quite rare elsewhere. It's funny the random things we remember from ages ago. Yeah, I wondered about that tunnel too at the end, which is why I went in for a closer look. This was a requested video, and it was raining, and I live close by otherwise I would have recorded something else. Enough people have watched it to make producing more of these worth my while at least even if they're not always the most interesting.
I was a bit surprised at the state of the stations in NYC... but despite its downsides that system is incredibly well built-out. Toronto was too busy catering to the car to build a proper network system back when it should have and now we're stuck with the half-assed system we have now. That's what happens when you let suburban voters into the fray...
Honestly It's hard to find a subway that is as dirty as NYC subway. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy NYC, but some of its subway stations are disgustingly dirty. I've been on Subways in Toronto, Montreal, NYC, Lille, Brussels, Barcelona & London. None were even close to how dirty some NYC stations are. Yes NYC is a massive subway system, but so is the London Underground, yet London Underderground is kept clean, stations look nice. Plus side to NYC though is the train runs 24/7. Funny though out of all those subways, Toronto somewhat resembles NYC the most, not because of the dirtiness, but the way the stations are designed, it's got some similarities. Montreal system is actually really nice, some stations are beautifully designed. Toronto design is a bit, meh.
@@JohnnyStrides NYC subway is massive, but at some stations it's filthy, NYC has never been known to be the cleanest of cities though & the subway is pretty well known for being dirty. I mean the Mutant Ninja Turtles use to even live down there😂. Surprisingly today NYC subway is actually a big step up from how they use to look in the 70s & 80s when everything was covered in graffitti from head to toe, even more garbage on the floor, & the trains were breaking down all the time.
@Jonny, to be fair, our city was built in the American fashion in the postwar'50's and '60's while New York was laid out and built the way it was from the _prewar_ 1900's-1940's, so the TTC couldn't be faulted for not having subway lines everywhere like New York has when we didn't have the density to build a big subway network (at least our 'local' lines are our bus routes and streetcar lines, and we would've had Transit City if not for Rob Ford and his subwayitis.)
lol this one was quite closer to where I live (just 2 stops north from St Clair) so since it was rainy and I was feeling lazy it was an easy video to make :)
You have got to be kidding!!!! With only 2 lines ,antiquated trains ,disruptions ,dirty stations . I suppose the Toronto subway system is good for someone who's lived all their life in a remote mountain village.
Actually, it almost sounds like the chimes of the NBC (National Broadcasting Company) television network in the United States (that chime's official title is 'GNC', BTW.)
Goodnight, seeing Toronto is always nice. I remember taking that very subway route to St.Clair. The last bit of the walk was pretty quiet though. There were no people in the subway. My country is just as quiet.
@@JohnnyStrides NYC is about $3 US ($3.77 CDN) for a ride. Or $127 US for 30 days ($159.75 CDN). Toronto about $3.25 CDN ($2.58 US) for a ride or $156 CDN for 30 days. ($124 US). They arent that much different in price actually, $3 difference on the month passes. Both relatively affordable from my experiences. You can also travel pretty dam far on the NYC subway for as little as $3 US. London Underground is most expensive I've been on. They charge by zones, if I'm going from East End of the city to the West it can cost me £3.90 ($5.50US...$6.90 CDN) just to get there. If I am even just staying in the London Central area within a few stops it can still cost me £2.90 for a ride. ($4.05 US.... $5.10 CDN)
A familiar subway entrance with a McDonald's next door on St Clair... Unfortunately the "Schnitzel Hub" just a short walk away on Yonge is now closed. They had the best mushroom soup, and many other yummy things on the menu. They closed right before the pandemic though, so the virus is not to blame
That entrance showing the Superstore was different. Does that connect to the P.A.T.H? I've never seen that building before. As always, thanks for posting!
I'm going to miss it like this when things bounce back. It's so quiet and there's no frequent stops because people can't stop hitting the yellow strip.
Great post - but I still find the Toronto subway stations ugly and claustrophobic compared to those in Montreal with their high ceilings and wider platforms - just sayin'
Thanks! I can't say I disagree with you but the frequency of service in Montreal is abysmal (if memory serves me correct) so we got that going for us at least lol
@@musicus11 from my experience in Montreal, Montreal trains are more spaced apart. Toronto trains during the day are generally alway running every 2-4 mins apart, mostly every 2 minutes in the more busy hours. Late at night they might come every 4-6 mins. I'm not sure how long I've had to wait in Montreal, but I remember thinking sometimes they were longer then I'm use to. Some Montreal stations are beautiful, most of Toronto stations are a boring design, closer to a NYC design, which arent pretty.
@@emmanuel5817 the lockdowns started on March 17th 2020. They did not start telling everyone to wear masks on public Transit until probably June of 2020, then it took a little while before more & more people started actually wearing them on Transit. This video is at least 9 months old, that gives you your answer. Anyways the masks are stupid, they should end everyone wearing them, useless. Lol.

@@JohnnyStrides I'm not comparing it to other cities in North America ... I'm just saying that Canada should have a better subway with the economy it has. It is a very old subway, not very modern, with very little space in the stations etc. even subway from south america are better🤷🏻♂️

Born and live in Toronto for almost 60 years. St. Clair station is one of the grungiest lol. So many others are much nicer.
It's not the prettiest that's for sure!
Hey, it has a charm and aesthetic all of its own, much like all of the other subway stations.
TTC trains are mostly surface or right below street level. Not those endless escalator rides to the depths of hell that you get in cities like London.
Great subway system that Toronto has.

Sad to hear the city lost another gem. There's a few TTC Mcondald's like this one, I believe there's one at Dundas West Station too.
Nice tour. What time does the TTC shutdown?
The subway shuts down around 1:30 but then gets replaced by an all-night surface route blue night bus... aka the vomit comet.
here in Toronto people come 2 close to you wether they r waiting in line or for the bus.
Seems common to have a lot of malls attached to stations
Certainly at the major intersections on the Yonge line it is (Queen/Dundas, College, St Clair, Eglinton, Sheppard, North York, Finch).
