The TTC's deepest station has changed a few times over the years, and it's a title that will once again change hands in 2025 — or at least that's what we're told.But first, a quick glance back at the previous and current title-holders.Lawrence Station on the Line 1 Yonge–University long held the distinction of being the deepest subway station in town. With a depth of 18.3 metres below the intersection of Yonge and Lawrence, the station was the furthest commuters could descend below street level from its opening on March 31, 1973, until the Toronto–York Spadina subway extension (TYSSE) opened on December 17, 2017.This extension into the northwestern suburbs was carved out by tunnel boring machines at a lower average depth than the eastern ...
