Next Saturday, March 27 at 10 a.m., TTC staff are offering visitors a rare opportunity to look inside the Greenwood Shop, one of the TTC’s two heavy-repair and overhaul facilities for subway cars. The shop covers about 190,000 square feet (17,600 square metres) and almost 200 employees work on overhauling vehicles and rebuilding components to support the fleet of subway vehicles and workcars.

We originally intended this post to encourage people to join the tour. Unfortunately, the tour is already sold out, so this post is simply to remind those of you who have booked the tour that it’s just one week away.

The TTC has also scheduled more tours of the Greenwood Shop and of other TTC facilities this year, including lower Bay Station, Mount Dennis Bus Garage, Harvey Shops and the TTC Operations Training Centre. The next tour of Greenwood Shop takes place at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 24.
