Sounds more like an election promise.
ReplyDeleteEven if it's approved, I'm looking at how long it's taking them to install an elevator at Pickering and to complete the station at Burlington and thinking we'll all be dead in the ground before a GO Train goes one inch past Oshawa.
ReplyDelete^^^^ Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
DeleteCourtice? Who lives there?

Deleteyou shouldn't hold your breath. gormley station was announced 5 years ago and still isn't finished: http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/1458863-new-go-station-for-gormley/
ReplyDelete"soon" — The most frequently used word in the realm of GO Transit.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I'm inclined to agree with @G. It was my understanding that this expansion was "confirmed" by the Ontario government years ago and was supposed to have been long finished by now. Instead, customers are still signing petitions and MPPs are still making promises.
ReplyDeleteIs this anything to do with the new VIA line to Peterborough?
ReplyDeleteThis will never happen as long as the feds and the province don't bully CP Rail into cooperating.
ReplyDeleteAgain nothing to do with CP. The LSE is on CN.
ReplyDeleteThe plan was to run a spur to the old knob hill farms store and then use the CP corridor from there to bowmanville.
ReplyDeleteThat requires CP cooperation.
