Magical worlds

[curgoth]

PSA; for the next few weeks, the subway will be taking a different route along the Bloor line. Bay station is closed on Saturday and Sunday for construction, and no trains are going through the lower half of St. George. The new route goes from Museum (which runs N, S, E and W trains during this), to St. George's upper floor, then through, as the driver put it, "The Magical World of Lower Bay Station" before going on to Yonge. So, if you've always wondered what Lower Bay station looks like, now's your chance.

On the other hand, be prepared for an extra 10-15 minutes of travel time alng the Bloor line on weekends until this is done.

That was best explanation of the rerouting I've seen so far. Some of the news updates & things trying to explain it make it sound infinitely more complex than it is.

On Sunday night I added an extra leg to my trip home in order to go through Lower Bay. It was less thrilling than I'd hoped.

Yeah, I was expecting something shiny at least, since I know it gets used for film shoots every now and then. But it's really pretty grungy down there. Would it hurt to sneak in some mole people, albino crocodiles or giant ant monsters? Throw us a freaking bone, TTC!

Yeah, it was neither shiny nor grungy enough for me, you know? Although the old ads were fun. Drakkar Noir!

I wish they would open up the Lower Queen station. That place is supposed to be spooky as hell.

I prefer the Magical Land of Avondale personally. They at least have chocolate bars...

Grar!

Ooooh, it's like TTC-sanctioned infiltration.

Yeah, with an element of wildlife safari, since they don't actually let you out there, you just sort of roll through it, looking out the windows.

If they were smart, they would plant a few people dressed as CHUDs or mole people in the station, jumping out when the subway rolled by. They could generate more business that way :)

I'd pay to see that.

Maybe we should arrange some theatre ourselves...

If there was ever a better place for a flash mob, I've never heard of it. If only there was a way to get down there without getting run over...

Perhaps we could all dress up like the Morlocks from the X-Men. I call Artie!
