Yea thats old news....I mean have they started to drill the tunnel and move west?

Nothing to indicate that on the TBM progress map.

Not yet officially though. There is a difference between waking up and actually working. They could very well be awake but idle.

Looking at those maps, it looks like only Dennis is moving......Lea is where it was some time ago.

I wonder how often those maps will be updated.

One launched in mid-September according to the update at next week's Metrolinx board meeting. The other to begin by late September.

To the west, the other two TBMs "are expected to be nearing Bathurst Street by end of September 2015" - http://www.metrolinx.com/en/docs/pd...20150922_BoardMtg_Rapid_Transit_Update_EN.pdf

What the hell do you want? The Taj Mahal? It's a LRT station, which is effectively a gloried bus shelter. The more money they can save on this project the more money there is for other projects.
