Parliament streetcar line

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) discontinued scheduled service on Parliament in 1966, when it opened the Bloor-Danforth subway.

After the Toronto Railway Company took over the streetcar system, it electrified both the Winchester and Parliament routes in 1893.

[4]: 28 [5] On January 2, 1925, one-man, ex-Toronto Railway Company streetcars replaced Birneys on Sundays and holidays, with service extended to Victoria Street.

The main purpose of this junction was to allow some King cars to short-turn via Parliament and Dundas streets returning via Broadview Avenue.

Streetcars use the remaining track when they are shifted from one route to another or when a traffic accident or routine maintenance requires a temporary diversion.
