History




Wall tiles at Warden station


Warden Station was opened in 1968 in what was then the Borough of Scarborough, and served as the Bloor-Danforth line's eastern terminus for 12 years until the extension to Kennedy was completed in 1980.


Until 1973, the buses and the subway trains serving the station were in separate fare zones and so the turnstiles and collector booths were placed between the bus bays and the subway platforms. When the zones were abolished, the layout was reconfigured to bring the buses inside the station's fare-paid area; one collector booth, left isolated inside the fare-paid zone, became an information booth.


The station's previous address was 3276 St. Clair Avenue East. Since around 2013-14, it has been changed to its present address, 701 Warden Avenue.



Subway infrastructure in the vicinity




View from an eastbound train approaching the station


After exiting the station eastbound towards Kennedy Station, the track returns to an underground tunnel at the Chestnut Portal, where it continues on its diagonal alignment under the former Canadian National Railway (CNR) spur line.


West of the station a small siding and storage shed are on the south side of the above ground tracks, which continue along the track bed of the former CNR line, all the way to Victoria Park Station.



Nearby landmarks


Nearby landmarks include the Providence Healthcare, Warden Woods Park, Warden Hilltop Community Centre and Pine Hills Cemetery. It is near much vacant industrial land (including the former site of Centennial College and Warden Woods Mall/Power Centre) where major redevelopment is expected over the coming years, including numerous new housing developments on the former Power Centre property.[2] It is also near the Toronto District School Board high school W.A. Porter C.I., which brings about 700 students in the station each year.[citation needed]



Surface connections





Entrances to the bus platforms


When the subway is closed, passengers may board or disembark from buses at the intersection of Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue. None of these routes are accessible to those with disabilities as the only connection between the subway and the bus terminal is via stairs.
