Very cool bit of trivia about Toronto:
Subway Secrets
Most people don't know there's another station under Bay/Bloor, just like at St. George and Yonge/Bloor. Nowadays they use it for shooting movies and commercials (eg Johnny Mnemonic, and the Oh Henry! spot). Years ago it was used in regular service, as a loop from University to Yonge, and also part of 'integrated' service, where all three subway lines were linked. Now it's locked up, very dirty, and falling apart.

What about that tunnel that you can see when travelling north that heads off in a westerly direction?
It was pointed out to me one night while riding the puke-train up to Steeles. |

yea i noticed that one. most ppl don't notice it because the train picks up alotta speed to head to sheppard. One day i noticed it and from then, i've been trying to watch it. It goes on for some distance. I don't know if it ends or it just...keeps on going.
Also one more secret most people haven't noticed is that between Finch and Davisville, there is a third track that leads right to the subway service station at davisville. |

| supposedly there is also an unfinished station underneath the Queen or Osgoode station as well (can't remember which, I think it might be Osgoode); it was partially built during the original construction of the station above and was to be finished when the Queen subway line was built (which obviously never happened) |
