Which is why W. K. Lis said (which I thought you were responding to):

Heard that the gates on the southbound platform at Dundas will open on Tuesday unless something happens to delay it.

I doubt they would have thought of that.
If this case I would take the train to the next station and double back.

When a tourist in other countries, even with no language in common, it's been easy enough to explain to the staff attending the automated gates that one went to the wrong platform, and needed to go the other way.

I feel like the higher-ups at the TTC did think of that, but don't actually care that much.
St. Andrew's next:

St Andrew Station closing this weekend for fare gate construction
November 8, 2017
St Andrew Station will be closing this weekend from 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10 until 6 a.m. Mon., Nov. 13 for fare gate construction. This closure is necessary to complete the floor work that cannot be done when the station is open.
During the closure, subway trains will pass through the station without stopping. Customers will need to use Osgoode or Union stations to access King St., or King Station to access the 504 or 514 Cherry streetcar routes.
The new modern, paddle-style gates are equipped with PRESTO readers and improve customer flow by providing an unobstructed path into and out of stations. The new gates are key to the TTC's modernization plans. The gates are in place at 46 stations and 78 entrances today.
Over the coming weeks, College, Osgoode and Queen's Park stations will close early or over a weekend for fare gate construction, as follows:
College Station: early closure - at 10 p.m. on Nov. 14, 15, 16 and 20.
Osgoode Station: weekend closure from Fri., Dec. 1 at 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. Mon., Dec. 4.
Queen's Park Station: early closure at 10 p.m. on Dec. 6, 7, 11 and 12.
The full fare gate construction schedule is available at ttc.ca and a video (
) explaining the next wave of fare gate construction is posted on the TTC's YouTube channel. Station specific fact sheets are also posted at ttc.ca. During closures, customer service ambassadors will be in place to assist customers with directions and information.
When the fare gate installation is complete next spring, every TTC subway station and entrance will have new gates and accept PRESTO. All TTC buses and streetcars accept PRESTO today.

Just went through College Station and noticed that the turnstiles have been ripped out!

Yes, planned to start on 10th. Station closes at 10pm from 14 to 16 and on 20th too.

And the top of the escalators from the southbound platforms is literally hemmed in by the temporary drywall. It's going to be even more of a mess than Dundas at AM rush, but it will be a huge improvement once it's all said and done,

I wish they'd deal with the non-Presto secondary entrances first ... like the St. George exit of ... St. George.

The progress at King Scotia Plaza is glacial and nonexistent at Commerce Court. Commerce Court (my preferred entrance when not paying with Presto) will be interesting as it sounds like the Collector booths are going. Depending on where the gates are located there could be quite a bit of unused floor space. Scotia Plaza is frustrating - passenger flow borked with 50% of entry/exit path gone, and because of drywalled in construction space no indication of how it is going.
