Funny how the stations still look the same now from 50 years ago.

The only station with the original glass tile is Eglinton. Some, like Dundas, College, and Union, are horrifyingly ugly since their '70s and 80s era renos. I miss the old red cars and their open windows.

Great Footage I love the way he keeps saying Really! Like No one watching the news footage would ever believe it was real.

Perhaps. But with today's prices, I don't know many reasons to ride from Bloor to Wellesley unless you have a pass. So that was how the infamous transfer machine worked that I heard about. I have never actually seen it in use. And of course, it was before my time.

Very cool.. thanks for the great footage!! I miss the old red trains. As a kid I would make my mom wait for a red train (Gloucester cars) oh the screech they would make as they came in (music to my ears,lol) they were very heavy trains so I knew when they were coming as the rumble was much louder then the The Montreal Series or the H cars. I lived on lola rd, right next to the open section of that part of the line, ka-click ka-click....ka-click ka-click!! all day long, I loved it!!

It's Bloor Station, it used to have a streetcar-subway transfer in the middle of Bloor street just east of yonge, it was removed in 1966
