Overview
Eastbound and westbound GO trains on this line use the Weston Subdivision of the Canadian National Railway, locally oriented northwest-southeast; there is one platform on each of the two tracks. Parallel to these tracks, running along their southwest side, is the Galt Subdivision of the Canadian Pacific Railway, also double-track; this carries GO trains on the Milton line, but they do not stop at Bloor station. However, GO plans to include the station as part of Milton line services.
Until 1996 there was a fifth parallel track on the other side of the CN line, which also belonged to CP and was used for access to local industries; its former right-of-way is now used for the West Toronto RailPath. Bloor Street dips down here to cross under all the tracks, and the station is reached by stairs from its north sidewalk.
The ticket sales office at Bloor station was closed in April 2008; tickets are sold only by vending machines. It is one of the system's few stations with no parking lot.
Only 200 passengers use the station per day, but that is expected to increase to 1,000 with the opening of the new Air Rail Link. Metrolinx is projecting 2,000 riders will use the station daily by 2031.
