They have (slowly) been putting up new (replacement) panels at both Queens Park & St Patrick Stations for at least 18 months. Looks similar to what was there before, but cleaner!

A look at St Patrick from today.

Was a lot of the time not spent doing asbestos abatement here? Doesn't excuse the amount of time that it has taken to get the paneling back up though.
Need I remind about that abhorrent proposal from the Toronto Community Foundation back in the late 2000's that would have seen the station turned into this... At least we didn't end up with that as much as the status quo is quite meh.

The old ones on the left, don't seem so bad really - other than the ones on the bottom row.

I think the 'one on the left' are actually new ones that were installed 6+ months ago and now need a good scrubbing. I think they removed ALL the old 'tiles' at St Patrick.

Oh my! I don't spend a lot of time at St. Patrick or Osgoode (though have recently). So I missed the point the old tiles came out. The shiny silver lattice at Osgoode that shines from behind of the new "tiles" there though is interesting - but perhaps not intended?

They have moved something on the west end that allows you to view the new terminal as it comes out of the ground. Galazing is being installed for the new entrance. They have closed the west sidewalk in the area and are forcing pedestrians to use the east sidewalk.

Looks like Hydro One doesn't want buildings for TTC under their power lines and one reason the current terminal being built is not located per the plan location some years ago. The bus terminal is a lot further from the new entrance now.
Light was greeting poor when I got to the site

These are great photos @drum118 - but it would really help to say which station this is. Mostly we've been discussing Queens Park and St. Patrick in recent months.
After staring for a while I'd guess Islington - but that neighbourhood sure looks different than when I used to ride the MiWay bus there 15 years ago - assuming I've got the right station.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture, but I was in St. Patrick Stn the other day....and I observed that they are installing faux-vitroite over the weird shiny metallic slats they installed some weeks/months back.
The new tile is thinner than the original and by the looks of it, they are riveting it in to the slats. There is no grout line, with the rivets visible between tiles.
Ugh.
I'm not the vitrolite fan that some of you are here and would have gone a different direction........but if this is one you want to do, this is a really cheapened version that looks it too.
I went back and look at @drum118 's shots of the trackside wall at St.Patrick to see if you can see what I'm saying. I enlarged the image, its a bit fuzzy, but I think you can see it:
Notice the space between the panels above, and where its a bit cloudy or not black, is where the screw/rivets are.

Thankfully, it is probably going to be covered with a matching metal sliver. You can see where they’ve done that at Queen’s Park.
