Anybody know why the north entrance building needs such a deep excavation when the OL and GO platforms are going to be at ground level?
There's also another deeply excavated section visible beneath the temporary pedestrian bridge, I'm guessing that is maybe where the ventilation plant will be for the tunnels?
None of it is for the traction power substation because that's further east at Strachan, so I'm just wondering.
And the deep pit by the foot bridge is actually the Traction Power Sub Station. The area by Strachan is a Step Up Sub Station.
Alert the UT admins: They should totally add aNo idea why the North entrance building is so deep. According to this diagram, all that's in the basement is the foundations.

I also forgot to mention in my last post, but the foot bridge is now back open for the season if anyone is interested in getting a good look at the site. However, the massive white tower for the conveyer system completely blocks the TBMs.
