Opening in 1966 as part of the initial part of Line 2, Bathurst Station is a major transfer point for both buses and streetcars. The 511 Streetcar route goes from the station all the way down to the Exhibition grounds, and is packed solid, day and night, during the CNE. Located at Bathurst and Bloor, the station provides access to both The Annex and Koreatown neighbourhoods, and is located very near what used to be Honest Ed's Warehouse - a source of bargains, knick-knacks and souvenirs for decades in Toronto before it's demolition back in March of 2018. Like many of the older stations, Bathurst has several businesses that operate within the station itself. These businesses are only accesible to passengers that have paid their fare already, but are quite convenient for regular commuters. At Bathurst, there is a dry cleaners (shown here), a bakery, a convenience store, and the TTC Photo ID Office.

Charles Bathurst, 1st Viscount Bledisloe, was a British Conservative politician and colonial governor. He was Governor-General of New Zealand from 1930 to 1935. His tenure as Governor General ran from 19 March 1930 to 15 March 1935. He was born in London and studied at Eaton College before completing a BA in Law at University College, Oxford. Bathurst worked as a barrister and conveyancer and in 1910 entered parliament representing the Conservative Party as MP for the South or Wilton division of Wiltshire. After serving as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, Bathurst was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in 1917, and raised to the peerage as Baron Bledisloe, of Lydney in the County of Gloucester. He remained in parliament until 1928, serving as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries from 1924 onwards, and was a member of the Privy Council from 1926.
After leaving parliament, Lord Bledisloe was created a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George and appointed the fourth Governor-General of New Zealand. His social conscience was much appreciated during the Depression era, as was his insistence that his salary should be cut as were the salaries of public servants at the time. Bledisloe also contributed to improved Pākehā – Māori relations, purchasing the site where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed and presenting it to the nation as a memorial. In 1934, the site was dedicated as a national reserve. The dedication ceremony attracted thousands of people, both Māori and Pākehā. Bledisloe continued to take an interest in the site even after his term expired and he returned to England. Bledisloe also contributed to the recognition of the Māori King Movement by developing a friendship with King Koroki and Te Puea Herangi, and his willingness to use the title "king" without reticence.
Bledisloe also promoted various causes and events by the presentation of trophies, the most famous of these being the Bledisloe Cup, the trophy for an ongoing rugby union competition between New Zealand and Australia, first awarded in 1931, and currently contested annually.
