Except this section isn't a Bush trainshed. It's the later, 1970s built addition.

They will be holding virtual tours of the new South Concourse and probably the new platform on Wednesday:

Glad we finally get to see more about the stub track. Really curious how it will be used. It’s on the west side, right?

Scaffolding/stairs to cross the tracks or tiding up the face of the deck or maybe both?

Is there no covered connection other than the Bay east teamway between the north and south sides of CIBC Square?

the teamway is the only indoor connection yes. It's why Ivanoe Cambridge spent all the money to upgrade and clean it up.

Has anyone seen any plan views of the new model, so we can figure out the new track layout of the south platforms?
Here's the old layout, demolished platforms/tracks in red
Looking at the video of the walkthrough, this is my best guess at the new layout.
It's hard to tell from the video if there is a track on the south side of the southernmost platform.

No there is no track on the far south side, that platform connects directly into the PATH on the south side of Union Station. Your diagram looks to be about the same as what I saw.

For no logical reason, rather than "it is different" and "cool", having a stub track at Union will be quite interesting.

Given the limitations presented by the support columns of the shed, any guesses on how they are going to configure the rest of the tracks and platforms to add platform width while eliminating the fewest number of tracks?

The stub track platform seems like it could become the new terminal for UP Express trains, after vacating its current location so that construction can start there on the Union Centre office tower.
