Got a number of personal laughing at Kennedy GO Station today who were busy working on the station like others working on the Crosstown station, considering it was July 1st.
I asked if the station was still on schedule to open July 26 as noted by Metrolinx that got them laughing. They said, take a look around to see it will not be. I asked this question based on what I saw from the overpass. Most likely will still be working on the station after it opens July 26, since no trains during the day and on the weekend. Another haft complete project to get it into service to look good.
The station is only a haft a platform until the SRT ramp is removed X date down the road. They were working on steel framing for the 2nd track going over the Crosstown Line tunnel. Still have to pour concrete for this bridge. The signal mast in place for the 2nd track to the north and south of the switch for the 2nd track to the north. Still have to cut in 2 switches at each end of the platform, as well install the 2nd track using concrete ties. Saw no signal mast at the south end, though the north one is for both direction.
Will be late fall before the elevator is install at the south end. Long walk to get to/from the new platform from either TTC Kennedy Station or from the east. You will have to exit/enter TTC station from the west end and walk to/from GO platform. No sign of stair or elevator from the current tunnel under GO Track or plan for. I can see space north of the accessibility platform for another car or 2, but that it.
