The 508-Lakeshore route was Toronto's newest streetcar
route until Harbourfront appeared in July 2000. Lakeshore is really a
combination of the Queen and King streetcars in the west end of the
city. The route starts at Long Branch loop at the far west end of the
city and parallels the 501 car along Lakeshore Blvd. and the Queensway
to King St. Here the car turns on to King and shares tracks with the
King car into downtown. The 508-Lakeshore then loops via Church,
Richmond, Victoria, Queen and Church. In the mornings during the
school year, the car continues to Parliament. There are only 7 daily
round trips needed as the route is well served by King and Queen cars
most of the day. CLRVs from Roncesvalles carhouse are used on this
route, though ALRVs have stood in occasionally.
