I'm out of the loop - is the Caledonia GO station actually being built now, or is it on the "back-burner" (i.e. it will never, ever be built)?

Looking at the website, looks like construction will start next year and it'll take 2 years to complete.

Thanks! I'm still imagining ML will still be saying "detailed design taking place" in 2046

It's definitely on the way, but it had a separate procurrement from Crosstown, so has its own timeline.

I’m curious….when those enormous excavations are backfilled after pouring the station structure, are all the timber and steel shoring elements removed, or are they just buried and left behind ?

Asking for a non-engineer friend.

Update on whether or not the TRs will have the in train maps updated with LEDs after the ECLRT opens:

So I guess this would hold true for Line 6 too.

Is BBD, I mean Alstom charging an arm and a leg for these upgrades?

What's the point in updating them? It's not like the TR's will ever run on them.

And yes, the updates would be a waste of money.

Agreed,
There's no point in doing stuff that won't serve any purpose. Hopefully they will use led monitor screens with graphics for future proofing

I presume Alstom won't be involved as they're only changing the printed overlay.
