No pics but having passed through there last weekend, I can tell you they didn’t actually demolish the (west) platform. But neither have they continued the work of dismantling the SRT ramps so the platform could be completed. So it sits, unfinished and now unused, much like the other 2nd...

Screen shots are mine..

Outside of rush hour, Bramalea receives consistent 30 minute westbound service at 4 & 34 minutes after the hour. First train west 6:34am, last at 30 minutes at 10:34pm. There is also an 11:34pm departure, usually the last of the night. Eastbound trips depart Bramalea at 00 and 24-28 minutes past...

Blue night 336 runs from Woodbine Racetrack to Yonge basically every 20 minutes 1:50-5am..

It is.. I tried to edit. Hopefully the pics went up.. Those links are what I was referring to though. Thanks..

This was just discussed elsewhere but I can't find exactly where right now. But there is room for the southmost section of the Islington overpass (circled above) to be hollowed out for another track. You can see the rail corridor's south retaining wall has already been aligned with this in...

That is unfortunate.. This infrastructure seems to be just one of a few glaring low hanging fruit to get completed for more and better service to come online.

Couldn't the switch just south of the Highland creek gap be moved north of it, allowing the double track from there (just south of Agincourt Station) right up to Unionville to potentially come online for service, including the extra platforms at Agincourt and Milliken?

There are 2 crossings in the vicinity of Brampton Go: John St just east of Queen and Mill St just west of the Go platform itself.

Agreed. Adding a lane crossing over Kennedy Rd and also at the Markham Rd overpass, where there is a similar design the 401 (McCowan Rd/Scarborough Centre ramp entry, express to collector transfer, right on top of the Markham Rd exit), could make even rush hour traffic bearable by better...

I've been checked as early as before even boarding an elevator to ascend to platform level and on platform level before boarding a train (usually Kitchener trains late evening including more than once on weekends). Some staff are reasonable once an explanation is offered if one is seen at...

I would love to see 30 minute weekend service, even if only as far as Bramalea (alternating Bramalea and Mount Pleasant terminuses) in the short-to-medium term. I mean, if Lakeshore can get up to 15 minute frequencies weekend afternoons, why not....? Also start of weekend train service earlier...

Ditto! Love me some bread pudding anytime.

A Michel's Baguette is what I believe you're referring to. Pizza, deli sandwiches and pastries like croissants, cakes and bread pudding. Yummy! Now to be found at the Commerce Court food court.. Until 5pm anyways.

Here in Brampton, the 3 stations within municipal boundaries are about as well served by BT/Zum as one could ask, with neighbourhood feeders as well as mainline routes running to/from and through each. In addition, Malton and Lisgar Go are quite well connected even being outside of Brampton's...
