Beat you.

OK, here's a good one: Name every TTC bus route that was replaced by a streetcar, present and past. It's a bit trickier.

77 Spadina - 604 Harbourfront/510 Spadina
Route 121 - 509 Harbourfront

Well, that's all I can think of.
 
Only station with a signal placed on the platform. Only station where part of the platform is curved. Narrowest centre platform on the system.

Another station has a signal on the platform, Islington. The south end of the southbound platform at St. Clair station has a curve to it.

Smiles - the orginal Mount Pleasant trolley bus, replaced in 1925 by an extension of the St. Clair Car. Then was replaced - again - by a trolley bus until 1992.
 
What about Union Station's platform is unique in the entire system? (there's a few things actually)

Union's subway platform level matches (or almost matches) the streetcar loop's platform level.

That, and 40% of its platform footprint is consumed by stairways/elevators/escalators, storage, etc.

EDIT: OH! And the single-crossover! (even though that isn't on the platform, it's unique to Union outside of yards)

What surface route has the smallest total km driven per day (Mon - Fri)?
No one has got this yet...
 
Here's one given to me by a friend:

Name the one station where it is possible to cross from one platform to the other within the fare paid zone, both going above AND below the subway tracks.
High Park. Cross below the tracks at the west end, cross above the tracks at the east end.
