Ellesmere station
Ellesmere was a rapid transit station on Line 3 Scarborough of the Toronto subway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was located at Ellesmere Road, between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue. Ellesmere was the least-used station on the entire TTC network. On average, only 1,850 passengers boarded trains here each day from 2006 to 2007 and only 1,678 from 2007 to 2008. Part of the reason for this is that there were no bus bays or bus stops at the station; passengers would have to walk to the nearest bus stop on Ellesmere Road. History
Ellesmere station opened in 1985, along with the rest of Line 3. In February 2021, the TTC recommended the closure of Line 3 in 2023 and its replacement by bus service until the completion of the Scarborough extension of Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. The station was permanently closed earlier than expected following a derailment on July 24, 2023. Station description
The station building was located underneath the elevated section of Ellesmere Road, in the Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue corridor. The station was fairly small and is similar in appearance to Lawrence East station. It was built on two levels, with the ground level being the Line 3 platforms and the single entrance and collector underneath it. The entrance was accessed from either side of the station through two sets of stairs, from either Kennedy Road or Midland Avenue via Service Road. Since entering the station requires the use of stairs, this station was not accessible whatsoever. The station also had a commuter parking lot for 68 vehicles located just to the east of the station, also underneath the elevated section of Ellesmere Road. At the time of its closure, 6 TTC bus routes (4 daytime routes and 2 Blue Night routes) passed near the station including routes running along Kennedy Road. Rapid transit infrastructure in the vicinity
North of this station, the line turned 90° east, dipping briefly into a tunnel to cross underneath the nearby GO train tracks, then rising to an elevated structure for the remainder of its route towards Midland station. South of the station, the line continued to travel at ground level alongside the GO train tracks for the remainder of the route towards Lawrence East station. References
