According
to Wiki "In 1966
when the TTC experimentally ran trains whose routes included portions of both the
Yonge-University and Bloor-Danforth lines. This abandoned platform is sometimes referred
to as Lower Bay by the general public or Bay Lower by
the TTC"
"The
platform was in service from February to September 1966 as part of an "interlining"
experiment, in which the TTC ran trains along three routes, with one matching the
subsequent Bloor-Danforth line, and the other two combining parts of the Bloor-Danforth
line with the Yonge-University line"
"The
experiment was deemed a failure, largely because delays anywhere quickly cascaded
to affect the entire system"
"Interlining
was discontinued because of the confusion and delays, although it has been argued
that it was politically motivated and that the experiment was sabotaged by the TTC,
perhaps even designed to fail from the start. Much of the infrastructure for interlining
is still present on the system, and most older stations still have signs informing
passengers of each train's next destination, although they no longer change. While
St. George and Bloor-Yonge Stations remained operating upper and lower platforms for
the two crossing subway lines, Bay Station would be served by only the Bloor-Danforth
line. Lower Bay was closed to the public"
I
would bring this system back and make it work by putting a management team in place
that are not afraid of a challenge and the rest of the management there will be other
less challenging jobs they could do
