Lucien-L’Allier train terminus closing for upgrades
Upgrades have been delayed at the Lucien‑L’Allier train terminus but now they’re finally planned to start on April 1. Passengers will need to embark on the three Exo lines elsewhere, including Vendôme or Parc stations.

So according to the article, the platforms haven’t been renovated in almost 50 years. So obviously in need of some TLC.
However, isn’t the REM in the West-Island (not the airport) supposed to open by the end of 2024? Couldn’t they have waited another 8 months and sent people there instead of to Vendôme? Unless they know the REM won’t be operational by the end of the year, and really couldn’t wait any longer?

@Mark: Your idea could have been an option for the Vaudreuil-Hudson line however, it wouldn’t have helped the St-Jerome and Candiac line users. This is assuming REM on the l’Anse-à-l’orme branch and the Mont-Royal tunnel will open in 2024. It could be a longer wait…
