TTC T1 Subway
TTC T1 Subway cars are the oldest active rolling stock in the Toronto subway system. Purchased in the 1990’s the T1’s were made to replace the cities aging fleet of G1, M1, and H1/H2 subway cars. The T1’s themselves are more of an upgrade from the old H-Series trains which the T1’s are based off of. Features include wider doors, Air conditioning, and an updated computer system. The T1 rolling stock were the first trains produced by Bombardier for Toronto (using designs created by UTDC/Hawker-Sidley before they were sold to Bombardier).
Currently you can find the T1 rolling stock on Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth) and Line 4 (Sheppard. However they are being phased out on this line in favor of 4 Car TR trains due to signal upgrades on Line 1). The T1 subway fleet however is set for retirement between 2022-2025, after which they will be replaced by the TR subway trains (The TR’s will be moved from Line 1 down to Line 2. Line 1 will then receive new rolling stock).
