I have nothing to substantiate this: But one does wonder if Carillion is dragging their feet to "mess" with Bondfield...? It seems like at the end of the day Carillion is still holding the scheduling cards.

Wow. Funny you mention that. I emailed Counc. Mike Layton and Counc. Pam McConnell to mention exactly that. "Free PR opportunity" was the subject line. Yet... three months later... still no window. Sometimes I really wonder about those puppets down at City Hall.

Also, for anyone tracking this kind of stuff: I think that the new lower retail under York and VIA is going to open for business ahead of the Bay side of things. Right now there is a brand new concrete block wall right where the main corridor is supposed to be... Like a semi-permanent hoarding...

@the lemur - Haha I literally thought the same thing... like maybe the demo guys kept it for laughs or something. It is kinda an icon around those parts! @Miscreant - Thank you. "The engineering here blows my mind. It's simply incredible." I totally agree. PS. Not just excavating for more...

I second that. One minor edit: get rid of the north side kiosks forever, but keep the south side counters

Ooooooooooh you just got me thinking. I really REALLY hope they tear out that dated 70s crap (aka the current ticket kiosks) and replace them with hardwood kiosks circa the Prince-of-Wales picture you linked. I agree with you in the main premise here being that the ticketing operations for VIA...

Political planning on the Union revitalization dates back to 2000 when the City of Toronto purchased the station. (I was only 12 years old!) The Union Master Plan was released in 2004 which outlined the direction for the project. If I am not mistaken NORR was chosen as the architect in 2009 and...

I agree, somewhat... It is just that I have this fear that if all services are removed from the Great Hall it will no longer have purpose. Traditionally the Great Hall would be the room where a "journey began". I just hope some part of the final design pays respect to that.
