This station is located just below the existing 'BAY' station.
Here's some wikepedia info on it:
The TTC has one closed subway station platform: the lower level of Bay subway station. This subway station was briefly used for interlining between two of Toronto's lines in 1966, producing an effect similar to the "branching" lines of metro systems in some other cities. Interlining worked in that one would not have to switch trains to go from one line to another. The experiment, which lasted six months, proved to be impractical. A problem could hold up much of the system. It is said that chaos ensued as passengers at Bay did not know which platform their next train might end up on, causing people to wait on the stairs. Switching trains also did not significantly lengthen a commute, since at the point of departure one would have to wait anyhow for an interlined train heading to the desired destination. Today, Lower Bay is best known for its use in movie shoots and special events. The station has been modified several times to make it look like a "common" American subway station, and the TTC owns a pre-built set to disguise it as a New York City Subway station.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I heard about the station underneath Bay Station before but never knew that it was used for film shoots. There's alot of stories about that station and the new Bay station above it being haunted. In fact, in the late evenings (around 10-12pm), the modern Bay station is usually quiet (during the day it can be quite busy) and when it's very quiet, you can hear someone singing at opposite end of the train platform. It's very faint so if you were walk to the other end to see who is singing, you'll suddenly hear the singing now on the opposite end again.

Wow. I never heard that Bay Station might be haunted. That's creepy. I'll keep my ears peeled next time I'm there.
