Opening day at Rutherford GO's parking garage and new platform. The bridge over the tracks to the new platform is also open. Levels 1-4 are open in the parking garage, the top two levels are still not open. Bike parking was locked when I visited for some reason even though the rest of the parking garage was open.
Drop off area:
L1 of the garage
L4 of the garage:

Walkway on level 4 on the garage between the elevators and the bridge
Secure bike parking. For some reason the door was still locked when I visited today

Go talks about more parking to come, but dont say how. Anyone know where / how / when Maple Go will get more parking if its not a parking structure?

You can expect some major changes coming to Maple GO Station over the next few years, so that we can deliver two-way, all-day service.

Is this connected to RER? Or just the usual ongoing hiring to replace attrition?

Seems like Remcan mainly does projects for CPR and towns in SK, Alb, and BC...soooo unless theyre subcontracted, i doubt it

Those type of conversion promises are made a lot, of course anything is technically possible - but its often totally impractical. The UP trains are unreliable and since we seem committed to low floor my guess is we will get rid of them ASAP, hopefully Bloor and Weston don't feel to awkward with the 80m long unused high platform . . . .
Nice wide and straight platforms!

Why do they keep delaying the wilson yard expansion?

They created a nice document... but it isn't in use quite yet.
I would think that if the signage had line letters and numbers this colourful flooring signage would be confusing. Interestingly none of the floors have a train and there is no exit to the street... unless there is a fire.

While things are a bit disappointting service-wise this month, I took a lot of comfort from a "shareholder’s tour" from Downsview Park to Milliken and back today.
There was considerable evidence of construction in progress and lots of workers seen active on projects on those routes:
- The Davenport project is coming along nicely
- Lots of activity between Lawrence and Sheppard on the Newmarket, with initial clearing, grading, sound fencing, and telecom activity in preparation for double tracking
- Lots of activity along the LSE towards the fourth main line
- Looks like the initial section of double tracking on the Uxbridge Sub from Kennedy to Highway 401 is pretty close to completion
- Kennedy, Agincourt, and Milliken stations all coming along well.
- Maybe because it’s late March, it’s easier to see just how much grubbing and tree removal is happening along all these routes.
What I didn't see was any sign of actuvity towards Caledonia GO. Also the bridge over the creek south of Agincourt on the Uxbridge Sub. All in good time I suppose.
Anyways, it was encouraging to see so many shovels in the ground in these lines.
