I heard the old rail platforms are still hidden under the mass of concrete and parkade structures somewhere.

I had no idea there were movie theatres there. There is still one live theatre company in Palliser Square (Lunchbox maybe?) but the other one packed up and closed during covid.
As I said, it's likely living off the profits of the 80s.
I'm sure the old theatre are where Lunchbox etc are.
Parking structure was there when Via was there, so nothing should be covered over.
I vauguely recall as a child that youbhs to go "down" from the floor where the Tower is to get to the Via station, and alll sorts of tourism offices nd car rental desks also on the Main level.
But it's a labyrinth of alcoves and odd office spaces and random picturs on the wall of Red Earth gas plant and such circa 1965 to 1985, that some oil company forgot to take down when they went away.
