The agency that inspects elevators is on standby, waiting to get the call to approve the operation of the one at the new West Harbour GO station.
As of dinnertime Friday, the elevator was not yet functioning at the $44-million station that officially opened Thursday — in time for the 2015 Pan Am Games and Hamilton's role in it. The elevator will transport commuters three storeys between the tracks and street level.
Lynn Ramsay of the Technical Standards and Safety Authority said contractors traditionally arrange an inspection five days in advance. She said the contractor had not yet called them regarding the elevator at the West Harbour GO station.
"Given the special circumstances, it's not usual we would make amends," Ramsay said Friday night. "When it's really important, we all do our best."
She said that should the contractor contact TSSA to inspect the elevator this weekend, "we would dispatch an inspector right away — (we) would not wait until Monday."
The opening of the West Harbour station means, for the first time since April 1981, the city is being served by two rail stations. That's the month when the TH&B ended passenger service to its station on Hunter Street. That was reborn as a GO station in 1996.
The former CN Rail station, now a banquet hall, saw Via Rail pull out in 1992 and GO follow a year later.
