History
Opened in 1966, Dundas West was then the second most western station on the Bloor-Danforth Line until the line was extended beyond Keele to Islington.
In 2002, as part of a scheduled reconstruction of the streetcar tracks on Dundas Street, a second streetcar bay was added to the station in an effort to improve reliability on both the 504 King and 505 Dundas streetcar routes. Until the completion of the second bay, a streetcar waiting in the station on either route could hold up vehicles on the other.
