TO is still two-person crew on the subway ("guard" instead of "conductor"), but they are both qualified to do both jobs. The short Scarborough RT is OPTO, but in that case they act as (arguably unnecessary) guard - the trains are automated.

Interesting. Clearly it happens at more than a few spots. I thought the Broad & Whitehall examples were most bizarre for their deviance from other nearby similarly-named stations.

Perhaps...I was sure that the only reason I noticed it was its difference from the 'F', but who knows.
