Warden (Toronto Subway)
Warden is an above-ground subway station in Toronto . It is on the Bloor-Danforth Line of the Toronto Subway , at the intersection of St. Clair Avenue and Warden Avenue. The station has a central platform and is used by an average of 29,740 passengers every day (2015).
There are transfer options to eight bus routes that run from a bus terminal connected to the station building . There is also a park-and-ride with 1,092 chargeable parking spaces available to commuters . At the northern end of the station, which is located on an embankment, a siding several hundred meters long branches off towards the southeast. This track was originally intended to be used for the delivery of rolling stock over the Canadian National Railway (CN) route , but was only rarely used because there is a more suitable crossing at the main depot at Greenwood Yard.
The station opened on May 11, 1968, along with the Woodbine - Warden section. For more than twelve years, Warden was the eastern terminus of the Bloor-Danforth Line. The extension to Kennedy Station was opened on November 22, 1980. Although this section runs along the route of a disused branch line of the CN, protests by residents led to the fact that an open-cut tunnel was built for the subway .
