Encyclopedia > Eglinton (TTC)

Eglinton is a station on the Yonge-University Spadina line of the Toronto subway. It is located at 2190 Yonge Street at Eglinton Avenue West/East. It opened in 1954. Nearby landmarks include the TVOntario studios, Eglinton Park, the Yonge Eglinton Centre, and Canada Square.


Parts of the Canada Square complex are built directly over the station. After the station, the line changes to bored tunnel with cut-and-cover tunnel at stations. It swings to the right to run directly under Yonge Street again.

Transit Toronto - Content: Eglinton Station - Toronto's Former Suburban Gateway (3775 words)
Eglinton station was no longer a suburban gateway, but the centrepiece of a growing commercial and residential core located in the very centre in a large and dynamic city.
Eglinton station has changed alongside the intersection -- its entrances rerouted with connections built to nearby shopping centres, and its bus terminal reconfigured, expanded, reduced, and finally replaced -- but the actual subway platform retains features that were in place when the trains first started rolling.
When the TTC replaced old Eglinton garage with the new Eglinton garage on Comstock Road, space became available for a major renovation that has already seen the closure of the aging bus terminal and will eventually produce a new terminal with improved passenger flow through the station.
