Winnie the Pooh in White River ON where it all began! Welcome!

Over 100 years ago, the community of White River, Ontario, Canada, bid farewell to a little black bear cub. This bear would become the inspiration of author A.A. Milne and subsequently became one of the most loved bears in the world.

Christopher Milne had named his toy bear after Winnie, a Canadian black bear he often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met while on holiday. The bear cub was purchased from a hunter for $20 by Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in White River, Ontario, Canada, while en route to England during the First World War. He named the bear "Winnie" after his adopted hometown in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "Winnie" was surreptitiously brought to England with her owner, and gained unofficial recognition as The Fort Garry Horse regimental mascot. Colebourn left Winnie at the London Zoo while he and his unit were in France; after the war she was officially donated to the zoo, as she had become a much-loved attraction there.

For the letter of the week for this round I am going to go with all things TTC, Toronto Transit Corporation.

Starts with "W"

Wilson Station was opened in what was then the Borough of North York as the last station in the 1978 subway line extension north from St. George Station. The station and the street are named in honour of Norman D. Wilson, Toronto-based transportation engineer.

The train platforms for this (and a lot of the stations on this section) are a level up from the concourse and basically outside. It was cold today as I waited for a return train.

It has this unusual seating which helped with the wind.

Wilson was the north-western terminus of the Yonge–University line for eighteen years and a major hub for TTC bus service, but with the extension to Sheppard West (then named Downsview) in 1996, many of the bus routes serving areas to the north were moved to the new station.

Below the tracks, where the toll booths and links to the outparking and buses, were a bakery, newsstand and lottery booth.

A quiet waiting spot.

A wall sculpture by Ted Bieler entitled Canyons is located at the mezzanine level.

And I scored two bonus W, as this is one of the few stations that have restrooms, bathrooms, toilets.

It has a Women's Washroom.

FAVOURITE

A new one to me - WYE, which I found when researching the subway system for this challenge.

noun
a support or other structure shaped like a Y, in particular.
NORTH AMERICAN
a triangle of railroad track, used for turning locomotives or trains.
noun: wye; plural noun: wyes
(in plumbing) a short pipe with a branch joining it at an acute angle.


And then I spotted this license plate on Coxwell at Danforth. I'm guessing she/he works for the TTC as this car was parked right outside Coxwell station's parking lot.

WEATHER

The weather doesn't matter when you are underground on transit. But it's a different story using transit on the street.

When I worked on King St we could watch the streetcars. In this wintery scene the white truck thought he could pass between the sidewalk and the streetcar!
