Here is the information we have to report at 11:04, November 6, 2009:

ELEVATOR STATUS:

FINCH BUS TERMINAL:
.    The elevator connecting the Finch Bus Terminal
     to the TTC tunnel is out of service. Passengers requiring
     the use of an elevator to access the TTC system are advised
     to use the TTC station elevator at the Kiss & Ride entrance,
     on the northwest corner of Yonge St. at Bishop Ave.

UNION STATION:
.   The elevator to platforms 9, 10, 11, and 12 is out of service.
    GO Transit staff will be available to assist patrons requiring use of
    this elevator.
   

ESCALATOR STATUS:

BURLINGTON GO STATION:
.    The escalators connecting to tracks 1, 2, and 3 have been taken 
     out of service. Please be advised: GO Transit will be permanently 
     removing the escalators in the Fall/Winter of this year and replacing
     it with a more reliable means of access to and from the rail platform.
     As a temporary solution, the escalators have been modified into a
     wooden staircase in an effort to ease congestion during the morning
     and evening rush. Wooden treatment has been applied to the
     escalator metal steps, creating a more uniform and safe solution to
     be used as a staircase. 

PICKERING GO STATION:
.   The escalator from the west building to the tunnel is out service.

WHITBY GO STATION:
.    The escalator from the south parking lot has been taken out of
     service to start construction for an elevator. Passengers requiring
     mobility assistance to access station platforms are advised to use
     the elevator accessible from the north parking lot.

UNION STATION:
.    Escalators 4/5, 6/7, and 8/9 are out of service:
     As part of GO Transit’s long term plan to improve Union Station, we
     are installing a staircase that will provide direct access from the
     new Bay West Teamway entrance.  In order to prepare for the new
     entrance and staircase, we need to remove escalators 4/5 and 6/7.
     Also, the escalator to Platform 8/9 has been taken out of service in
     order to install a new staircase. 
     Passengers requiring access to platform 4 may use the existing
     stairs or the elevator located on the southwest wall of the GO
     concourse. Passengers requiring access to platforms 5, 6, 7, and 8
     may use the existing stairs or the elevator located on the south
     wall of the GO concourse.  The elevator to platforms 9, 10, 11, 12,
     and 13 are located in the Blue Route between the GO concourse and
     the Air Canada Centre.

.    The escalators serving platforms 24/25 are not in service until
     further notice.
