Here are some photos I took when I visited a friend at York University:

I think York and Downsview park ar my favorite designs for the new stations so far.

The thing that I noticed the most about the York University Keele Campus is the amount of buses on the York Boulevard Loop. How many of these buses will be restructured to the bus stations at the other subway stations?

All of them. York U wants all buses gone. TTC will retain local service through the campus.

Students won't be happy that they'll have to hop off their GO/YRT buses and transfer to the subway for 1 or 2 stops. It's a free transfer but it's hassle with a long flight of stair underground and another set of long stairs back up. Plus the subway can break down anytime.

Brampton Transit hasn't decided yet how the Zum routes will adapt with the subway extension, there's a PIC going on this week in Brampton regarding the future of Brampton Transit, and here's the slides:

On Page 7-8, you can see how they want to service the Vaughan area.

Obviously he was just making a joke. Sheesh

That does lead us to the question of: which of the new stations have washrooms?

Those are penitentiary fixtures, as an joke example only.

Used to be, maybe still are, the TTC washrooms are considered "bad". See link, from 2009.

Which subway stations have washrooms? Here’s the "current" list:

Spadina Line
Downsview
Wilson

Yonge-University Line Bloor-Yonge
Eglinton
Finch

Bloor-Danforth Line
Kipling
Warden
Kennedy

Sheppard Line Sheppard-Yonge
Don Mills​

I'm sure these palatial stations will have thrones fit for a king.

I would assume only Vaughn Metro Centre will have them but they may have them in Pioneer Village as well. Generally the TTC only puts them in terminus locations and former terminus locations as well.

Sadly, I highly doubt Norman Foster got that job:

So it seems that Highway 407 Station will have a public washroom:
