Downsview Station

The newest station on line 1 north of the Wilson Yards and currently the most northern station on the Spadina side of line 1 also the terminus station on the west side as well. The previous terminus (Wilson) has the multiple parking lots and much more parking since it was the previous end of the line just on the other side of the 401 at the much busy Yorkdale complex.
Downsview station located at the south east corner of Allen and Sheppard is where Sheppard makes that dramatic detour around the Downsview airport runway near Chesswood. This station does have a north side entrance as well as a kiss and ride pickup area with actual parking spots instead of a rotary type hub like Finch or Kipling. Access to the parking and drop off area is accessible at the access road just east of Allen on the south side of Sheppard and access to just the parking lot is also available on the east side of Allen south of Sheppard.
The parking lot at Downsview seems rather small but with room to grow if needed. Now that Downsview will no longer be the terminus station for this leg of line 1 after the extension to Vaughan is complete it’s yet to be determined if more parking is even required.
The station is has a large surface area for buses on both sides of the bus depot.
The bus depot services quite a few bus routes from here:
84 Sheppard West begins west of Sheppard station (at Yonge) along Sheppard and crosses at Allen while remains on Sheppard to Weston road where it loops back around at Bradstock and Rivalda before heading back east.
101 Downsview Park is a very short route that simply goes around the Sheppard hump turns left on John Drury to Carl Hall road into the park.
104 Faywood runs between Downsview and Wilson stations. It takes a route from Wilson from Ansford to Faywood which turns into Wilmington north of Sheppard to Finch Ave, goes west to Dufferin and then turns to Kennard and down to Wilson Heights and then back to Sheppard to Downview station.
105 Dufferin North runs into Vaughan and requires additional fare when north of Steeles avenue. This route runs north on Dufferin and loops at Confederation parkway and then east on Rutherford road before turning back south again.
106 York University runs west along the Sheppard hump and then north on Sentinel road to York University main campus in a clockwise direction meeting The Pond road at six o’clock and Ian Macdonald before turning back to Sentinel going south.
107 Keele North has many variants but for the most part the 107C is the main route which makes its way west along the Sheppard hump through the industrial area near Tuscan Gate toe Keele and then north as far as Teston road in Vaughan. Same as the 105 additional fare is required north of Steeles avenue.
108 Downsview main run 108B runs west on the Sheppard hump to Arleta avenue and up Driftwood north of Finch to Strong Court and then briefly along Jane street before turning right back onto Driftwood again before heading south bound.
117 Alness runs up Allen/​Dufferin to a dedicated bus roadway that runs parallel and north of Finch Ave to Alness up to Steeles and bakc down Dufferin. This route around the roadway and Alness runs clockwise before 3pm and counter clockwise after 3pm.
As for the train platform it’s long and wide with an arched roof. The trains on line 1 of course are wider than the Bloor/​Danforth line 2 but the design of this station lends to more space and feels much more open than a majority of the older stations in the TTC system.

soon to be just a connecting station, the now end terminus of the YUS has aged extremely well, being completed in 1996 this station is absolutely beautiful, and I say that with no disrespect to the union make-​over. this station has a decent amount of parking and has a decent amount of bus routes connecting it to all over northern Toronto, including some viva routes to the York region. an absolute gem to come and visit this station, its very clean, very bright, and has a bunch of points of entry. make sure to check out downsview park, if you come and visit this station.

This is by far the nicest looking TTC station I have seen, the most recent addition added to the line in 1996. It’s very interesting architecture, and nice use of colour, even the barriers are creative.
The parking lot is quite large, and only $ 4. Although it’s confusing for a first timer to find proper access in the dark. Luckily the first train south isn’t too busy. Would be nice if the lay out was better and was closer to the station especially in the bitter cold we’ve been having lately.

This is a pretty great station. It’s clean, it’s got a fantastic pick up area without that insane roundabout business, bathrooms and that covered bike lockup.

This is probably the nicest subway station in Toronto. At least it will be for a couple years until they add the York U extension.
The ceilings are high, the décor is modern, and there is tons of space. Even when the station is packed you still feel like you have room to breathe. The convenience store here is an actual store that you can walk into, unlike the counter style stores at most stations.
