And, yes, AJ, that glass will be great for passengers in the winter. I have been on those wind-exposed platforms in the dead of winter before. Hopefully, this will make the experience of coming to Ottawa in the deep freeze a little less arduous.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917230984518214781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-57703392006738528062018-08-12T22:01:23.349-04:002018-08-12T22:01:23.349-04:00Oh man am I happy to see they put in new glass the...Oh man am I happy to see they put in new glass there. Should be a life saver during the winters!<br />While I have been critical of the Central Station (especially compared to Fallowfield which I am a fan of) in the past, it is encouraging to see that there has been rational and sensible improvements. If they want to get people onto the trains, the first thing is to make it comfortable and keep the pesky little things to a minimum. The atmosphere definitely goes a long way for that!AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805174926952294860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-13311006051347648592018-08-11T19:45:25.266-04:002018-08-11T19:45:25.266-04:00Kingston has benches that even visiting railfans c...Kingston has benches that even visiting railfans can sit on! I like the way the accessible ramp 'cuts across' the stairs to the raised platforms. Interesting design. Thanks for keeping us up to date with the comings and goings at Ottawa station, Michael!<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.com
