Surely there must be more "beta lines" or "Bat caves" (failed designs, empty tunnels, etc, blocked from public access) than the current subway maps say there are.
I am aware of Lower Queen and Lower Bay. But I suspect St. Clair West, Eglinton West (yes, there's tunnels that go right to keele, they're buried, probably still accessible somehow), College, all over the downtown core.
I'm a skeptic when it comes to this stuff. This is surely something that has the potential to be exploited for all rail, transit fans and historians.
Ever wonder where those "Vents" commonly seen on the subway line's streets above, lead to, when they aren't on Yonge, Bloor/Danforth or any other street the subway passes underneath?
I don't think all of them link to building ventilation shafts. There are quite a bunch of small houses and two-story buildings on college st passing spadina, yet those vents exist. Quite a few of those along St. Clair Ave West (that too, doesn't have many large buildings, but mainly small properties grouped close together) so there must be an explanation for it all.
So what do you make of this? Could the subway lines be much bigger than originally planned?
