Highway 407 station

Due to structural elements related to the water table, the centre platform has no columns, with all weight being transferred to the sides to counter buoyancy.

[9] On November 27, 2009, the official groundbreaking ceremony was held for the extension and major tunnelling operations began in June 2011.

[10] The excavated station box was used to launch the tunnel boring machines north towards Highway 7 and south towards Steeles Avenue.

[17] To avoid implementing a payment-on-exit system, the station is part of the Toronto TTC fare zone despite being located in York Region.

[18] This is in contrast to TTC-contracted bus routes, where riders are required to pay extra fare (for YRT) when travelling beyond the municipal boundary at Steeles Avenue.

Zone 2 fares were charged, however, when transferring to connecting bus routes in the suburban municipalities of Metropolitan Toronto.

[19] Similarly, at this station (as well as at the adjacent Vaughan Metropolitan Centre), separate fares are charged when transferring between the TTC subway and connecting regional transit buses, such as YRT, which are the only surface routes serving it.
