The [TTC](http://www.ttc.ca/) is closing Line 1 **Yonge - University** subway **between Sheppard West and St George** stations **earlier than usually** Monday, **June 1** until Friday, **June 6**. Line 1 subway trains operate only **between Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Sheppard West** stations and **between Finch and St George** stations **after 11:59 p.m.** June 1 to 4. Friday, **June 5** only, subway service between St George and Sheppard West stations ends at 12:30 a.m. (early Saturday, **June 6**) to accommodate fans leaving the [Luke Combs](https://www.lukecombs.com/) concert at [Rogers Stadium](https://www.rogers-stadium.com/). **[Shuttle buses](/archives/weblog/2026/06/01-subway_clo.shtml#buses) partially replace subway service**. The buses drop off or pick up passengers at stops near each station on that part of the line. TTC staff are available in each station to direct you to the shuttle-bus boarding and offloading locations. (Or, consider a [shuttle-bus alternative](/archives/weblog/2026/06/01-subway_clo.shtml#alt).) Most stations on this section of Line 1 remain open, so you can load [PRESTO](http://www.prestocard.ca/) fare cards, buy PRESTO tickets and connect to TTC buses, streetcars and Line 2 **Bloor - Danforth** subway trains and [GO Transit](http://www.gotransit.com/) or [York Region Transit](http://www.yrt.ca/) buses. However, **Glencairn and Dupont stations are closed**. Note that the TTC is also closing passenger accesses at several other stations: + the **Ranee Avenue** access at **Yorkdale** Station; + the **Heath Street West** access at **St Clair West** Station; and + the **Kendal Avenue** access at **Spadina** Station. While this part of Line 1 is closed, TTC crews are maintaining tracks. According to a [TTC news release](https://www.ttc.ca/news/2026/May/Upcoming-subway-closures-and-service-adjustments-May-28), "While the TTC does most subway maintenance after service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work." * * * #####**Shuttle buses** (*We've based this part of the post on information available from the TTC during other closures of this section of Line 1.

Although shuttle buses replacing subway service will be frequent, they may also be crowded. Regular TTC buses and streetcars provide less frequent, less direct, but, perhaps, less stressful alternatives. Consider boarding buses and street cars at subway stations on the **Yonge** branch of the subway line, instead of the **University** branch. If you're travelling from the west, keep riding your bus or streetcar until you reach a Yonge-branch station, instead of exiting at a University-branch station. This applies not just to the closed section of the subway, but to stations north and south of the closure, so you can avoid the **University** branch entirely. **North of the closed section of the subway**, ride: + buses along the 60A / 60B **Steeles West** route to **Finch Station**, instead of Pioneer Village Station. + buses along the 36 **Finch West** route to **Finch Station**, instead of Finch West Station. **At the closed section of the subway**, ride: + buses along the 84A **Sheppard West** route to **Sheppard - Yonge Station**, instead of Sheppard West Station; + buses along the 96A / 96B **Wilson** or 165 **Weston Rd North** routes to **York Mills Station**, instead of Wilson Station; + buses along the 52A / 52B / 52D **Lawrence West** route to **Lawrence Station**, instead of Lawrence West Station; + buses along the 14 **Glencairn** route to **Davisville Station**, instead of Glencairn Station; + Line 5 **Eglinton** trains or buses along the 34 **Eglinton** route to **Eglinton Station**, instead of Cedarvale Station; + streetcars along the 512 **St Clair** route to **St Clair Station**, instead of St Clair West Station; and + Line 2 **Bloor - Danforth** subway trains to **Yonge Station**, instead of St George Station. **South of the closed section of the subway**, ride: + streetcars along the 506 **Carlton** route to **College Station**, instead of Queen's Park Station; + streetcars along the 505 **Dundas** route to **TMU Station**, instead of St Patrick Station; + streetcars along the 501 **Queen** route to the area of **Queen Station**, instead of Osgoode Station; and + streetcars along the 504 **King** route to **King Station**, instead of St Andrew Station.
