Lower Bay Station

So I finally got to see the ghost station. It looks erie familiar. Did they intentionally make it look just like Bay Station? (I did a quick search and yes, in fact Lower Bay has the same architecture and tile scheme as the upper level.)

It was pretty exciting, but obviously not everyone in the subway car cared much. We were probably the only ones that were that excited.

The train actually slows down considerably between the trip from Museum to St. George, so you get quite a good view of the abandoned station. Lower Bay is one very dirty and decrepit station. I wouldn’t want to wait for a train there..ever.

I wasn’t too surprised about the station’s condition though. What surprised me was the subway ride between the stations. I didn’t notice the train making any noticeable turns, includes or declines. It was an unexpectedly very smooth ride. One minute we were on the green line, the next we were on the yellow line. The ride is nothing like the union loop! Maybe it would have been a little bit different had I been sitting at the front of the subway. I think next weekend I’m going to try to do just that. Any takers?

I must really commend TTC staff. I think they were doing a fine job of redirecting people and making sure everyone was going where they wanted to go. The TTC has yet to disappoint me when it comes to dealing with mass crowds during special events.

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
