Mark I don't think there is a second platform under Donland's Station. I don't recall any mysterious doors at the platform level. The doors at the platform level are storage closets for the cleaners. I know that there has some remodelling in recent years, but that was to accomandate the street level for passenger transfers. I used to get off at that station to go to high school. Just east of the Donlands station, the eastbound track dips and there is a fork to the right then rises to the greenwood yards. West from Coxwell, the track will fork to the left over the eastbound track to create a second 'Y' interchange. This track leads to the Greenwood yards. What is possible is that there may be a rough-in for a station off that fork. Only the operators may know for sure. Has anybody asked a friendly driver/condutor. As you might know, There was talk of a queen st. subway line that would run from the Dowtown Area east then curve north to/thru the greenwood yard and connect with the Bloor-Danforth line. (I know that is not a priority item in the city's transit plans). Of course, I have been wrong before :-). -- .signature follows! use the n key if you don't want to see it :-) <<<<<<<<<========= ALL Usual disclaimers go here :-) =========>>>>>>>>> Canada Post: Howard Lem - University of Toronto Computing Services 11 King's College Rd., Room 107A Toronto, Ont., Canada, M5S 1A1 Telephone: (416) - 978 - 4310 {work} Email: howard@gpu.utcs.uucp
