History

The original plan for the Bloor-Danforth extension to Islington had different stations than what eventually got built. The stations were at "Montgomery" and "Prince Edward", instead of Islington and Royal York. This was probably due to the fact that these two streets were the ends of the Kingsway shopping district. However, it was decided to include only one station in the Kingsway, at Royal York. [http://transit.toronto.on.ca/subway/5104.shtml A History of Subways on Bloor and Queen Streets - Transit Toronto]

Until 1973 the buses and the subway trains serving the station were in separate fare zones and so the turnstiles and collector booths were on the mezzanine level between the bus bays and the subway platforms. When the zones were abolished, they were moved to just inside the street entrance, bringing the buses inside the station's fare-paid area.
