Passengers will have to cross the platform and board another train. University-Spadina riders should use Museum for eastbound trains (since the train you&#8217;ll be getting on at St.George will terminate at Museum). This also means lower St. George will not be in use as the upper platform will handle all trains. The logistics might be slightly confusing so I suspect TTC conductors will announce all the details.<\/p>\n<p>The significance of this scheduling inconvenience is that passengers will get a quick look at the unused platform of Lower Bay station. Subways will not stop at Bay so keep alert if you want to a peak at one of Toronto&#8217;s most celebrated transit legends. Let&#8217;s cross our fingers that the TTC has turned the lights on.<\/p>\n<p>Almost a year ago, Jim Munroe wrote a short story about Lower Bay station for our transit-themed issue.
