Davisville (Toronto Subway)
Davisville is an above-ground subway station in Toronto . It lies on the Yonge-University line of the Toronto Subway , at the intersection of Yonge Street and Chaplin Crescent / Davisville Avenue. The station has side platforms and is used by an average of 25,330 passengers every day (2015).
There are transfer options to four bus routes. Nearby are Mount Pleasant Cemetery , the prestigious Upper Canada College and the William McBrien Building , the administrative headquarters of the Toronto Transit Commission . The station opened on March 30, 1954 along with the Union - Eglinton section , the oldest subway on Canadian soil.
Immediately to the west of the station is Davisville Yard , the oldest depot of the Toronto Subway and the only one until 1966. From 1993 to 2002 the depot was out of service, with a few sporadic exceptions. Since then, it has served those trains that run on the Sheppard Line . Davisville is the only station that has a third platform. Trains moving in and out stop here; it can also be used in the event of disruptions on the main tracks.
