For anyone who loves a chance to see hidden, neat things, the TTC subway construction this weekend means that the Bloor/Danforth line will be detouring through the "lost" Lower Bay subway station.

One of Toronto's few unused and forgotten subway stations, the Lower Bay subway station has been essentially ignored since 1966, six months after it opened. It is still occasionally used as a movie set. The Transit Toronto folk have an excellent article on it here, and you can see more pictures of the station here.

The subway won't be stopping there, but you have a chance to see it as it goes by. And if you miss it this weekend, they will be continuing the work for the next five weekends.

It'll be available to view (as in, wander around in) on Doors Open Day in May, which is even better!

I had heard, but apparently (a) it will only be open for a few hours (although they're trying to get it extended) and (b) I have Anime North that weekend. :(

Still, if folk are interested, I'm happy to post an update when it becomes available.
