Overview
The tracks approach the station from the south in open cut before going underground at the Berwick Portal, immediately before the station. Here the tracks divide sharply to go either side of the island platform. North of the station the line swings to the east, to run directly under Yonge Street in a bored tunnel.
This station is used as a switchover point for subways operators who are coming off or coming on their shift. There are sometimes slight delays at this station as subway operators are being changed.
Nearby landmarks include Eglinton Park, TVOntario studios, head offices of the Canadian Tire Corporation, the Yonge-Eglinton Centre, and Canada Square which is built directly over the station.
Tourists staying in downtown Toronto wishing to travel to the Ontario Science Centre usually take the subway to this station and transfer to the 34 Eglinton East bus to reach the destination.
The station is not related to the similarly named Eglinton GO Station, which is 14 km (9 mi) farther east along Eglinton Avenue.
