Caledon-Vaughan GO Rail Line

View attachment 598628


I agree, however it seems that the current plan for Caledon/Bolton GO is to divert over to the Newmarket Sub. Their rationale being that the Weston Sub is congested with the UPX, Kitchener, and Milton lines.

I believe this is short sighted as the NW corner of the city is pretty poorly served by transit. Eglinton, and Finch LRT's (moreso Finch) are significant upgrades to the area. However I believe the area still needs a connection to the DT and a GO line

How does that work? Use the York sub to get from the Newmarket Sub to the MacTier Sub? You'd still be able to get stations at Woodbridge (probably a couple) and Kleinberg.

Oh ... hang on. The York sub is only 260 m south of the station box for Highway 407 station (and 225 m north of the bus bays for Black Creek Pioneer Village station). Now that's interesting!

This is not the proposed alignment right now, obviously that could change but right now it will be using the Weston Sub to get to its proposed terminus station.

What’s the basis for this - something Metrolinx says, or something Caledon is pushing? There isn’t a clear path for a new route other than Bolton across country to south of King City GO, and bridgework and power lines at the crossing of York and McTier make constructing a curve a tricky proposition.
