Single track and goes through what is not city property. Not to mention, Is that really a good place for a major transfer station? People keep on referring what is now the Senate Building as the "train station". It was a train station building for administration, ticketing and waiting, but what made made it a station — the platforms — are long gone and built over with the Shaw Centre. All that nostalgia is based on the prettiness of the facade and the waiting halls, none of it tempered with practicality. You could drop a billion to make this work, all for the sake of arriving in style with poor connections.
