Cars were was different from the ones they use on Line 2. They were all joined to together so you could walk from the front of the train if you wanted to. When we got to the end of the line at Vaughn Mills we discovered, much to Mr. Wilkens consternation we discovered the Vaughn Mills Mall was not connected to the subway station but was quite a long walk away ! As we needed somewhere to eat our lunch we decided to go to the Yorkdale Mall. We went to the food court at Yorkdale and ate our lunch. Then back on the train to get back to school.
