20150223. Getting up close and personal with Toronto’s CN Tower at 2000 feet. Union Station and its new train shed roof is to the left.
20150106. Approach Toronto’s international airport on the new Union Pearson Express later this year.
20141205. Toronto’s underground PATH system will soon open a North-South branch from Union Stn to these new exit pavilions.
20141101. The curves of Toronto’s Union Station streetcar platform are a familiar sight once again.

20140821. Now choose from 28 doors when entering the Union Station subway or underground PATH system in Toronto. Minimal Aesthetic 39.
Alternate Caption: 20140821. Pigeons use the subway too.
If you are taking the Yonge line, enter from the east doors (farthest) and if you are taking the University line, enter from the west doors (closest). What concerns me is if you want to go into the underground PATH, you must come through the west doors or you will be met by a bank of 17 turnstiles where once you could just walk through.
20140819. Sections of the TTC’s new Union Station platform (Toronto) are quite wide but very, very white.
Apologies for suggesting the entire platform was narrow. Will this platform change from white to grey over time from subway train grime?
20140818. Finally, the TTC’s Union Station (Toronto) has its second, albeit narrow, platform.
The new platform services trains heading northbound on the Yonge line. Note: a) the wayfinding signage above the train (similar to stations to the north), b) the ceiling panels that snap in/out of place allowing easy access for servicing, c) the exposed concrete floors and d) the matte wall tiles with the occasion glossy ones thrown in.
