One thing to note, this station does not have heating or cooling. It was a tad chilly and I confirmed with staff that there is not HVAC.

Too bad we can't pick up my Kodachrome slides from there anymore. Ah, the memories (from 1973...)Mount Dennis Station back in 2011

Finally got here and the effect that it will have on the surrounding area will be huge! I will only post about what hasn’t already been covered. The only truly new thing (for me) was finding out that Super Coffee is going to have a shop inside the station next year. And though I tried to access the Photography Building I was intercepted on the first floor and informed that it’s not quite ready. Drats! But what I saw of the vestibule filled me with anticipation as the restoration is stunning. The creatives will love this and be lining up to use it as a set!

That’s great about SuperCoffee! Love the current Mount Dennis location and of course their sister shop, SuperBurger in Primrose.

This station looks SO much better than the Bloor GO / UP station! I know it's still under construction, but I wonder if it'll ever look even this nice

Went to checkout the station today. I was actually there briefly last Saturday and the doors to Building 9 were open. I wish I actually went up the stairs to check it out. I didn’t know that part of the building would be closed to the public.
Pretty nice station. Could use more colour, like more walls that were completely orange.
They need to put Presto readers closer to the TTC concourse. I needed to take the elevator from the GO platform, and the way it’s oriented, you miss the readers in the tunnel. I walked all the way to the TTC fare line and had to ask an employee where to tap off. Then had to go all the way back to do so.
There was like no waste or recycling bins anywhere inside the station. When I was looking to throw something out, I walked through the GO section and up to the TTC fare line and couldn’t find any.

Finally had a chance to check the station out on a crappy day for shooting. Nice to see two elevators to the platforms with track 1 closed off since there is no track 1 south of Black Creek interlock. To bab that the rest of the elevators don't have a 2nd elevator.
Since I was diving and not willing to pay a TTC fare to check out the bus terminal, I left that to another day
Get a good view of the yard and train sets arriving or departing the yard.

Nice bike storage room
Good location for shooting CPKC as well, GO, and UPX.
Almost a 24-hour station
