Old Mill (Toronto Subway)
Old Mill is a subway station in Toronto . It is on the Bloor-Danforth Line of the Toronto Subway , at the intersection of Bloor Street and Old Mill Terrace. The station has side platforms and is used by an average of 6,620 passengers every day (2015). This makes it one of the least frequented on the entire network. There is a possibility to change to a bus line.
The station is located in a loop of the Humber River near the Park Lawn cemetery. While the western part of the station is underground, the eastern part is on a bridge over the river. To the east of the river, the route again runs in a tunnel. Glass windows along the platforms allow a view of the park-like river valley.
The station opened on May 10, 1968, along with the Keele - Islington section . On December 8, 2000, the station was damaged by fire when a burning cigarette ignited the contents of a refuse collection truck shortly before the end of operations. As a result of this incident, the Toronto Transit Commission waived its further use and has since had the waste removed by trucks.
