The TTC's Line 2 Bloor-Danforth faces two closures this Halloween weekend. Riders on the St George to Broadview section cannot use the subway after 10 pm on Friday October 30, and riders on the Jane to Ossington section face a late opening on Sunday November 1, according to the TTC's service advisories page.
For Friday night, the closure covers the stretch between St George and Broadview stations starting at 10 pm. The TTC lists Bay, Sherbourne, and the Yonge Street entrance to Bloor-Yonge as the affected stations. The other entrances to Bloor-Yonge remain open. Shuttle buses run along the route. Service returns around 6 am on Saturday October 31.
For Sunday November 1, the Jane to Ossington section does not open until 12 pm. The TTC lists Runnymede, High Park, Lansdowne, and Dufferin stations, along with the Indian Grove entrance to Keele station, as affected. Shuttle buses operate before 12 pm.
Both closures are described as planned track work. The TTC says its shuttle buses are fully accessible, and that extra vehicles will be available for Wheel-Trans customers.
What the schedule means for Halloween night
The Friday night closure starts at 10 pm at stations between St George and Broadview. Anyone travelling on Halloween night along that stretch of the line should allow extra time for the shuttle or plan their route before 10 pm.
The Yonge Street entrance to Bloor-Yonge station closes with the rest of the affected section, though other entrances to the same station stay open.
What changes on Sunday
Sunday November 1 is the day clocks move back one hour as daylight saving time ends at 2 am. The late Line 2 opening on the Jane to Ossington section means that stretch does not run until noon. Riders who would normally use High Park, Runnymede, Keele via the Indian Grove entrance, Lansdowne, or Dufferin in the morning should plan for shuttle buses instead.
