Yes.^ Is that 12 min frequency going to be the frequency when the line reopens?

Understood, thanks, just as long as there is more capacity.Ottawa's line 2 is single tracked and it runs every 12 minutes. More frequent passing tracks enable more frequent service.
The number of km of track added according to the press release indicates that the corridor will have a considerable amount of quad track, albeit with some triple track pinch points (presumably Brampton station and the Credit River bridge). There have been actual Metrolinx track maps posted in this thread.
12 minutes was already the headway before the line closed for reconstruction. The frequency isn't changing.^ Is that 12 min frequency going to be the frequency when the line reopens?
Sick, very cool. Metrolinx loves Hamilton eh?yeah still zero public info about this work. Apparently it was supposed to start this summer...
It actually blows my mind how underserved Hamilton is. It's the third largest city in Ontario, within 50km of Toronto, tons of commuters, two downtown stations. Little service, and poorly taken care of stations. Come on Metrolinx.Sick, very cool. Metrolinx loves Hamilton eh?
Welcome to UT!
There is a great amount of information that may answer your question in this thread - suggest you “read up” through the previous pages and see if that gives what you are seeking.

In short, yes, they want to do a flyover between the Credit River and Mount Pleasant. Here's the latest:

Metrolinx is pursuing it appears option 3 for the long term. Visualization here created not by Metrolinx, but by the Brampton Board of Trade from this file:
Sweet. Thank you for the info!^ what happens in downtown Brampton is a third track and the likely full closure of Railroad Street between Mill and George. The design contract was awarded for the third platform on the south side at the Brampton Station.
Is there no way they can do a 4th track with some expropiation? Would be significantly more expensive but long term would have way more capacity and options...^ what happens in downtown Brampton is a third track and the likely full closure of Railroad Street between Mill and George.

That looks like a strange hump along the south abutment, I'm not sure why it was retained. Is there enough space for two tracks and ballast between the north abutment and the bottom of the slope?
