No. In the case of 202, as the sun would have been against me, I didn't bother to cross the street.

205 was seen from the business plaza by Kipling and New Toronto and I didn't go up to Islington that time.

when they raise the platforms for level boarding how complex of a job would it be to convert the door step to match the platform heights?

Not complex at all. There is a step bolted to the outside of the car just below the door threshold. It would have to be replaced with a new one mounted higher - and in line with the door threshold.

Here’s a diagram I made on GO’s new consist splitting procedure or whatever you call it:

So how will the train reverse direction without a cab car?

That's your cab car.

The other end. Or are they just shortening the consist?

They'd just split it and attach another loco onto the six pack on the left. Only thing is though, is that you still require a clean and trip-ready 5A car on both six packs.

No they aren’t making 2 trains out of it, they’re disconnecting 7-10/12 and leaving them behind, only operating the 6 car train that’s left. Over the weekends Georgetown Yard has two sets of 4 cars remaining from two 10 car trains that operate on weekdays, while the two Kitchener consists that operate on Saturday and Sunday rhn as 6 car trains:

Only the right side (side of the train with the engine in that diagram) will operate, they'll leave the disconnected cars behind

I have thus far only seen this procedure in use on the Kitchener Line. Wonder whether the refurbished cab cars might be used this way?

I assume so, the currently operating cabs are getting the new door that allows the cab to be placed in the middle of the train, so I assume the rebuilt cabs will too

Funnily enough, there is a consist right now set up like that, however the 10 car portion is also led by an old cab car. (255 leading and 253 midset)

I can’t remember if I posted these… but I also made some other diagrams over the past 6 months or so:
