Onxpress contract terminates in 2048, making nfitz's question very relevant.
That's an 8 year window where we potentially go from a very congested trains on some lines to a new contract, through a flurry of station construction, a rolling stock order (many cars will be well beyond their best before date), to enlarged trains.
They're not going to voluntarily make any capital investments after 2040. Is Metrolinx clever enough to have included clauses regarding minimum passenger comfort levels forcing ongoing expansion?

I don't have time at the moment to review in detail, but there's a looking ahead section and there's a reference to updates in 2025.
Maybe @Northern Light @crs1026 can pull out and spot more relevant pieces.

There's nothing new in terms of specific service improvement timelines or specific dates for infrastructure projects.
There is some information on process and logistics around the project.
Notably, the following:

The emphasis on a meter by meter examination of the line is interesting - perhaps a sign of intent to get on with electrification, and a focus on more systemmatic maintenance practices.
The article refers to "construction", but ML's "early works" efforts have already done a lot of that. It will be interesting to see if Onexpress proposes adding track, beyond finishing what ML already plans. I suspect they are referring to laying track on the added roadbed that ML is already roughing in.

Construction notices until the end of the year. Not sure if there's anything to gleam from that.

so sounds like we wont see the actual finished schedule until next year.
While it sucks to wait, Its not like we would be seeing anything this year since ONxpress is taking over operations in january anyway

There are some hints there.
I would need more time than others to work through them.........
But there are clear patterns of work with beginnings and endings.
Significant segments in the first 1/2 of the year are Lakeshore west of Oakville; and Barrie.
In the latter portion of the year it shifts to Lakeshore west of Union, Barrie, and Stouffville.
@crs1026 would be well suited to fine-tooth combing what is likely what.
