Nobody was hurt, but four cars of the train were destroyed and part of the station's platform area, including the tiled wall, suffered severe damage. During the repair parts of the trim were replaced with a different colour; red-brown instead of the original green tile.Christie Street is named after the baker William Mellis Christie, the namesake of the Mr. Christie brand of cookies, now owned by Mondelēz/Kraft, and so the reference to the station as "Mr. Christie Station" has some validity.Nearby landmarksNearby landmarks include Korea Town and Christie Pits.Surface connectionsA paper transfer is required to connect between the subway and buses which use a curbside stop at this station. 126 Christie to St Clair West Station
