  • As a historical building, Union Station is impressive. The main hall is awe-inspiring and humbling. As a transportation hub, it leave a lot to be desired. Certainly traffic has increased a great deal since it was first opened, but that the station has barely kept pace with that growth is a bit embarrassing. Measures are certainly being undertaken to fix it - the addition of new tracks is useful, though their distance from the terminal is something of a cruel joke - and the addition of more egress routes (the two teamways in particular) is long overdue. The main terminal area is in a sad state, though. There's little to no seating available, and most any seat available has no clear view of an arrival board, so you need to get up to figure out which track to go to. Very annoying. I'm also staunchly against the removal of escalators. Overall, it serves its purpose, but not overly well. I hope the next few years bring enough improvements to be a useful transit facility for years to come. Standard ticket vending machine quibble applies here, to the power of about a thousand: there is NO WAY AT ALL to buy a ticket from either teamway entrance. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, PEOPLE. To close, I'd like to offer the following tips for people who have never been to Union Station before: - Always use the stairs for the indicated platform, and not the one that the train is unloading on. There may be fewer people going up the stairs there, but there's an even larger number of people about to come down the stairs, and if one more of you gums up the works of us getting off the train, not only will I end you, but the other people on the stairs with me will help. - Read the signs, it's not that hard. The big TV screens tell you what platform to go to and when the train leaves. The non-TV signs tell you which way each platform is. Not hard. - Buy a freaking ticket. If you can't wait to talk to an attendant, use the machine. - Develop some knowledge of where you are and where you're going. When it's ten minutes to the train leaving, I need a ten pass, you're monopolizing the attendant's time by not understanding that you need to take a bus to get to Waterloo, and they're right across the street... a bullseye slowly forms on the back of your head. Let's avoid that awkwardness, shall we? Two stars to encourage them to fix the damned thing.
