The TTC will institute a number of service changes for the holiday period between Sunday, December 24, 2023 and Saturday, January 6, 2024.
All of these involve service cuts usually made over this two week period with the removal of school trips on many routes. These will be restored in the January schedules.
On all routes but one, the change is implemented either by switching back to the summer 2023 schedule or by amending the existing schedule to remove the extra trips.
38 Highland Creek has an extended route this year compared to 2022, and so it has a new “summer” schedule for the coming holiday. This will be used in 2024. Other routes extended as part of the SRT replacement do not have school trips, and so they are not affected by the holidays.
Service Changes Effective 2023.12.24
The file linked here contains lists of the routes that will lose school trips and/or will have summer service for the two week period. The last page of this file details the TTC’s plans for service on a day-by-day basis including New Year’s Eve. The arrangements are identical to those for 2022 except that there are no “last train times” for the now-discontinued Line 3.
No new diversions have been announced for the holiday period although it would not surprise me if a whole pack of Grinches is working on a last minute “gift” for transit riders.

No changes to the 63 Ossington that runs from Ossington Station to Liberty Village?
Steve: Not yet. Changes are in the works for next year including a temporary extension to Sunnyside via King during construction a diversion. Eventually, the western terminus of 63 Ossington will be Dufferin Loop. This was covered in the 2024 Service Plan.

Any idea when surface transit will return to Broadview Station?
When I was last at Broadview Station, no work was being done on the King and Dundas platform tracks and Erindale Ave looked like it was ready to reopen.
Steve: Erindale has reopened, but the track is still incomplete within the loop. I am not sure why they don’t at least use the bus loop and then shift onto the streetcar platforms for the 504/505 shuttle later, although the bus loop has stored a lot of construction gear that would have to be moved first.
