Oh, good, it's nice to finally see something other than concrete down in that pit. Hopefully this is just the start of ongoing finishing work throughout the moat area.

They have added more platform edge for the new platform as well open up the wall hording.
With the then northbound track out of service this weekend, I guess they will be removing more of the hoarding as well working on the platform edge.
They have being doing some work on the existing northbound platform with plywood being used for the floor. I expect they are preparing that area for the new glass wall that will be put in place once the new platform opens.

are they relocating the third rail so its not directly under the platform?

For real, they should at least make the platform solid so no one is encouraged to duck under that side.

No. Having a hollow under the platform edge allows anyone falling onto the tracks an escape or safety zone, should they fall or pushed down onto the tracks.

It will be move once the new platform is ready to go into service. They need to remove it to allow people to get under the overhang if they end up on the track for what every reason as well staff if they have a train coming at them when it should not be as a safety protection.

If the third rail is there, you'll likely be electrocuted trying to escape.

Where can it be relocated. There is a platform on either side of the train. If it can't be under either platform, where would it go?

The existing platform edge will be walled off,

What if Union station becomes Spanish solution? Where would the third rail be?

Guess they might have to convert the entire line to pantograph operation...
