Any updates on progress?

They're working away hard, but it doesn't look all that much different from when the steelwork started to appear in December. I've paid a few visits since, but it wasn't really worth posting any video.I'm keeping an eye on the progress and will do another one soon.
For compensation, here's a photo taken on Tuesday 22/01/19 looking across the old Dundas St entrance and towards the space where the Low Level line crosses. There's a lot of construction been going on there but it's all hidden.

Here's another taken on Tuesday 22/01/19 looking down Dundas Street to the corner with West George Street. The chap on the left is standing at the west wall of the new building. There's a lot of work been going on in the basement behind him, but I didn't have my trained seagull with me that day so no aerial view I'm afraid.

Any info on the goods yard retail development?
I really, really hope proper taxi/drop off access is being planned.

I'm disappointed with your lack of preparation.There's a lot of work been going on in the basement behind him, but I didn't have my trained seagull with me that day so no aerial view I'm afraid.

Well, he was still in police custody after being mistaken for a UAV at Gatwick. J is back home now though (Livingston)

Thanks for the tip – watch this space...
EDIT: And here's the main truss, all assembled and waiting to be lifted early on Sunday morning:

Err, no. One of them seems to have sneaked off tonight for a tea break, and the other doesn't have it's jib extended (well, its got to keep it up all night tomorrow I suppose). Don't know when that was taken.

The view from George Square as the main truss is lifted in:
The lift picture shows the answer- those white and yellow cranes weren't the heavy lift ones!

It's vimeoDOTcom/304770985 (not sure if it needs the https:// prefix)

Thanks. Where are you taking the shots from that look down onto the new bit?
This looks interesting. Something for you @PaxVobiscum ?

I was away for a few days from last Saturday. By the time I heard about this, it was fully booked - within a few hours I believe. Ah well. My trained seagull and I will just have to carry on as usual.
