Runnymede is a station on the Bloor–Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 2218 Bloor Street West at Runnymede Road. It was opened in 1968.

Entrances

• Runnymede Road
  • This entrance is located just north of Bloor, on the east side of Runnymede Road.
• Kennedy Avenue
  • The station spans the block from Runnymede Road to Kennedy Avenue with bus platforms at surface level. Hence, it is also accessible from the west side of Kennedy Avenue, just north of Bloor.

History

The bus platform underwent major construction from September 2010 to July 2011, forcing the three bus routes that operate from the station to detour and riders to wait for them at other stops in the area. The passenger platform was renovated, and new concrete and drainage system on the bus roadway were built.

Subway infrastructure in the vicinity

The line is tunneled westward toward Jane Station.

About halfway to High Park Station to the east, the line comes to the surface at the Glendenan Portal and crosses over Clendenan Avenue.
