Talk:Union station (TTC)

Untitled

Can someone elaborate on what this would mean?

"Construction on that expansion is set to begin in 2006, which will also see the entire upper mezzanine become a fare-paid area" Would passengers still be able to walk through the station from the GO Trains into the path system to get to Royal Plaza, TD Centre, etc?

I didn't understand that either, and couldn't find anything that elaborated. I changed the statement and provided an updated link. PKT(alk) 15:56, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Location of Station

The first paragraph notes: "It is located at 55 Front Street West between Bay Street and York Street below Union Station." Would it not be more correct to say "It is located at 55 Front Street West between Bay Street and York Street, below Front Street and immediately north of Union Station."? The TTC station is not below Union Station. papageno 04:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Somebody has made the change you suggested. PKT(alk) 15:56, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Signal tree access on platform

From what I understand, there is a signal tree accessible at platform level at Davisville Station (south side of southbound platform, on the east).

If this is correct, that small factoid should be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.148.86.43 (talk) 23:34, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Train signals on platforms

Lawrence station

The Union article says "The station is also noted as being one of only a few (including Davisville and Islington stations) where a signal is publicly accessible." There are similar statements in the Davisville and Islington articles.

Lawrence station now has platform signals which were installed in 2021. Also, the interlocking signal at Union is now shrouded in plastic, and an ATC signal stands on the platform in front of it. Similarly, Lawrence has both an ATC signal and an interlocking signal at the south end of the northbound platform, but the ATC signal is the one that is shrouded. I have photos of today's Union and Lawrence signals which I could upload. Other than the photos, I have no other sources to prove the changes I observed. Perhaps, there are now other recently added platform signals.

I suggest adding/updating photos as needed for changes in platform signals. Should I update the Lawrence article? Should I mention Lawrence in every station article mentioning platform signals? @Joeyconnick, Blaixx, and Johnny Au: Please advise. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 00:12, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

The mentions feel VERY much like WP:TRIVIA to me; for simplicity's sake, I say we just excise them everywhere. One less fiddly thing to maintain and unlikely to be of use or relevant to our generalist Wikipedia audience. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:12, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Done. Removed trivia-style wording but retained Union and Islington photos. Also removed trivia-style wording for the curved platform, which is hardly noticeable. Omitting mention of platform signal from Lawrence article. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 21:06, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Length of streetcar tunnel

In the section Streetcar Loop, it says the tunnel is 500km long but this is not correct. Hyporeality (talk) 19:25, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

I have changed it to read 500 m. Thanks! BLAIXX 22:44, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
