Can I suggest a north arrow to help one figure out the location? Maybe bounding street names as well?

Yes, they are clearly a lot of work to do but the maps LOOK more useful than they are if one actually tries to use them.

They aren’t for navigation, I never intended them to be used in that way

Not to be unhelpful, but maps are usually a navigation aide and I am not sure that just 'looking nice' (as they do) is enough reason to spend so much effort making them.

Booooo you’re no fun.

Pffft, DSC is a blast.

I really like your station maps. When you're done, you should pin them somewhere handy like the UT transit glossary for easy reference.

Man, that takes me back. I haven't been on Infiltration in awhile, but I used to devour that website in the early 2000s when working at the library at U of T. Thanks for the nice reminder of a simpler time, @Mind_the_gap

And yes, RIP Ninjalicious. A kind soul, taken far too early.

Someone posted this very interesting page on Reddit, it’s a bunch of stories and photos of unseen and abandoned areas inside Union Station in the 90’s: http://infiltration.org/utility-union.html

Crazy that this abandoned hallway was just allowed to flood like this, yikes!

I came across this cool video from 1973, and was wondering if this was footage of the former Union Station-TTC connection?

At ~9:00 mins.

Edit: Same location as this photo:

infiltration.org seems to have been taken down, but uer.ca is still around.

Ps. Here's my copy of "Access All Areas"
