Quite a few potential future uses for the BCR corridor, especially for the Barrie section.
1. A new station within Barrie, near the Ferndale Dr.
2. A new rail link that goes north-east around Barrie, roughly follows Hwy 11 to Orillia, then further north passing Lake Couchiching on the west and joining the existing line just north of Washago, then following the Northland route towards Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville etc. If Metrolinx builds that new link, it can reserve space for the second track, and it doesn't have to give freight any priority over the passenger service.
3. The old route to Angus and Collinwood, ideally extended to Owen Sound roughtly along Hwy 26.
