In February 2021, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) recommended the closure of Line 3 in 2023 and its replacement by bus service until the completion of the Scarborough extension of Line 2 Bloor–Danforth.

The station was permanently closed earlier than expected on July 24, 2023, following a derailment which ultimately resulted in the TTC deciding to end Line 3 service early.

The station served TTC bus routes running along Midland Avenue, Ellesmere Road and Progress Avenue, but only the 57 Midland bus stopped in front of the station.

East of the station, the Line 3 trains continued to run elevated above the ground, and the elevation of the bridge increased as the tracks went further east towards Scarborough Centre station.

West of the station, the line gradually descended until reaching a tunnel where it made a 90 degree turn south and it reached Ellesmere station as soon as it exited the tunnel.
