Osgoode (TTC)

Osgoode is an underground subway station in Toronto. It lies on the Yonge- University - Spadina line of the Toronto Subway, at the intersection of University Avenue and Queen Street. It is named after the nearby Osgoode Hall. The station has side platforms, is used daily by an average of 23,250 passengers (2009 /10). Nearby are located next to the Osgoode Hall and the Four Seasons Centre, the City Hall, Nathan Phillips Square and the South African War Memorial. It offers connecting flights to a bus route and on the tram lines 501 and 502

The opening of the station on 28 February 1963 in conjunction with the section Union - St. George University of Subway. Its full market value reached this section, however, only three years later with the opening of the crossing in St. George Bloor- Danforth Line. The occupancy rate was lower than originally forecast in the initial years. For this reason, the operation was limited, especially on weekends; he is at all times throughout the entire route only since 1978.

Osgoode had originally intended to be a transfer station. The plan was a tram tunnel under Queen Street. When the station Queen, a second level was structurally complete. The same was also provided in Osgoode, but confined themselves here on the re-routing of some supply lines. A further extension was omitted because the Toronto Transit Commission tunnel turned back again and again for financial reasons and eventually gave up.
