^ Hope they have a good strategy to make sure these don't heave over time.

There is a thick concrete base, tte moats are inside and it's granite. Why would you expect heaving?

I’m a bit confused, are the top part doors or windows?

What is a Amramp?

Gravel preparing for proper flooring?

One of the new digital signs above the VIA ticket counters in the great hall was up and running today. Showed the 3 next VIA departures. Looked pretty basic but I guess that's the point.

Those are windows, not doors, in your picture from inside the Bay Concourse. They'll be windows that you can look into from the elevated gangway through the east moat.

There are also glass canopies coming along York and Bay, aren't there? I seem to remember similar ground preparation before they started installing the first moat cover. Maybe they're getting ready to start along York, now that it looks like they're about to regain some space/accesses in the Front moats?

Just a general worry. Glad to hear there's a strong base. Good to know.

My guess is that's just the company name http://www.amramp.com/toronto

Maybe I should clarify. What is a Amramp used for specifically on platform 3?

Loading of UP Express during construction.

How is this day different from all other days? Because this day marks the thirteenth anniversary of the Union Station Revitalization thread. Long may you run, USRt. Long may you run.

In honor of the 13th anniversary of this thread, I present the first post.

...I hope there are tapes.

But seriously, the fact that a thread can go on for 13 years puts forums like this one at an advantage over places like Reddit (which for some reason, thinks forums are dead. Although a certain r/toronto member whose username starts with "A" would probably know better...)

FYI the previous variant of this project (by Union Pearson Group) predate the first post by a few years - and the selection process was rife with accusations of favouritism and backroom dealings and the whole scheme was scrapped completely.

We’ve come a long way. From September, 2013, when there was a huge hole in front of Union Station.

Should have dug a bigger hole to have a University Line side platform. And where's the Royal York PATH tunnel at?
