GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

[cplchanb]

it's such a shame that they didnt take the opportunity to raise the platform for level boarding. clearly either they never budgeted that in or they just are too stuck up with dont fix it until it cant be fixed...

That copper flashing has been there for months, if not last year if I recall correctly.

There has been copper up for a while but NOT where the photos showed - on east end of shed. It was being put up in early May and late April.

I forgot to say that I took the photo from the GO bus terminal -- it is new at that specific area.

I saw it yesterday before seeing your posting and no idea how I miss seeing it on May 17 shooting the same location in the same spot that day.

I know flashing went up late last year for track 3 and a few other location, but the east end is new. Haven't look at the west end at all this year.

Given I have shot the east end a number of times this year, I guess I took things for granted that it was done last year.

Urban Dictionary- "Lipstick on a pig"

A term used by many, generally in reference to someone who may be trying to make something or someone look appealing or attractive when it quite clearly will not work, or will only deceive the dumbest of people.

Car salesmen are generally good at "putting lipstick on a pig" because they are always selling unroadworthy buckets of shit and try and hide their shitfulness by tarting them up.
The dude in that car yard just put a body kit on that piece of shit. Talk about putting lipstick on a pig

I would also propose the addendum: 6 - Toronto Union Station Train Shed

Is that a 12 coach train but the platform only fits 10?

It hadn't rolled all the way in yet, but it looked fab where it was.

Sorry, meant PEM LEM shed. It will house equipment for switches and track panels.
