I'll have to check with my friend, but I believe that the plan was that the glass would be coated to prevent accumulation.

Sounds good, thanks. I was just curious if that was thought of or not, considering the angled glass.

While this is an improvement over what was there before and I welcome the renovations and restorations, I feel that Union Station's shed lacks ambition for a city of this size and stature. The shed is functional but not architecturally significant when compared to the existing stock of beautiful sheds worldwide.
Cannot say which London station is the best at this time.
I agree that it will be a definite improvement. However, it could be so much more. This is Canada's biggest city and the city's most important rail terminal. If anywhere in the country deserved pushing for architectural excellence, there would have been no better place and opportunity than at Union Station.

Union station is architectural excellence. The shed out back is almost invisible from almost any ground vantage point and is inhabited by people for only a few seconds while boarding their train.
For those of us who seldom arrive on the platform more than 3 minutes before departure time, we don't see the crowds.A few seconds? That couldn't be further from the truth and if you were a regular commuter you'd know it.
