Commuters flood out of Union Station at word the subway is closed up to Bloor

The Yonge subway is closed south of Bloor Street this morning as the TTC tries to figure out how to clean up what smells like diesel oil spilled into the Sunday tunnel near College station. There is no explanation for this. TTC CEO chief general manager Andy Byford said an unknown substance was found in the tunnel about 500 feet north of College Station at around midnight. At first crews were led to believe that the substance was water. Later the suspicion was gasoline, but even later the odour of the liquid suggested it was diesel. .
