Tour of Lower Bay Station - Doors open Toronto 2008

A tour of Lower Bay During Doors Open Toronto in the summer of 2008. Two H4 Trains are parked on each platform, so that people don't fall onto the tracks. Filmed on May 24, 2008.

Lower Bay was inactive since Labor Day 1966 (40 years!). It was built as part of an interlining trial period, where passengers wouldn't have to transfer to another train. The trial period ended when several complications arose. If a train became disabled at one part of the line, it would affect all trains. Also, several trains going the same way arrived at both platforms of one station, creating confusion as where passengers should wait for their train.




Today it is used to move equipment between the Yonge-University-Spadina line and the Bloor-Danforth line, filming movies, and for training purposes.

Lower Bay was also open during the 2007 Doors Open Toronto event.

Why would an H4 train say Don Mills there are no H4s H5s or H6s on the Sheppard Line only T1s and they are special T1 trains because they only have 4 cars a regular six car train wouldn't fit on the platforms.

I have no idea why it says Don Mills, but on the bright side, that's something you don't see every day.
