Arabnews24.ca:Friday 9 June 2023 10:18 PM: The TTC says there will be no subway service on Line 2 between Broadview and Woodbine stations all weekend due to track work.

Bay and Sherbourne stations will be closed on Sunday. All other stations will remain open for people to load their PRESTO card, buy PRESTO tickets, or catch buses or streetcars.
"While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the conclusion of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work as well as ATC signal upgrades," the TTC said in a news release on Thursday.
Next week, from Monday to Thursday, subway service between Broadview and Woodbine stations will end at 11 p.m. nightly for track work.
