The 2009 conference G20 in London was £7.2 million = $11 million CAD
How the hell can Toronto's cost over $1 billion then?

Everyone: On June 3rd VIA Rail Canada issued a press release about the relocation of all their rail operations outside of Toronto Union Station during the time of the G20 Summit.

They could have run into their own Guildwood station as well. Though perhaps it would create too much havoc with GO trains. Particularly as I'd expect GO trains to be terminating at Danforth and Mimico before this is over.Trains will be terminating at Oshawa, Oakville, Brampton, and Oriole, depending on the line. This is absurd! At very least they could have made stop-gap use of GO stations and terminated at Danforth, Exhibition/Mimico, and Bloor/Dundas West!
VIA said that they have a lot of passengers who arrive at Union with luggage, and many with mobility devices, and need assistance and transport. This is not the case with GO.It really makes no sense to me that GO Trains and buses are running as scheduled into Union, but not VIA service. So odd. Apparently this was VIA's decision?

Though I can't imagine GO is going to actually run through Union ... when push comes to shove.
I'd assume that GO (and Via) would be using the existing bus station at Union Station which on the far side of Union Station from all the action.Will be easier to run through Union than the old Coach terminal (for the buses obviously).
I'd agree; though I wonder how well the YUS will run from Bloor to St. George.Unless the subway is shut down due to an attack or wafting tear gas it is still the best option.
I'd think that they'd be using Mimico as a terminal, if anything - what with the extra platform, and room to park buses, etc.It isn't like the exhibition Go station won't be a security nest as well with most of the media being stationed there.
