So is the name of this station Woodbine GO station as show in the renders of the station ? Isn’t there already a Woodbine TTC station. I thought they wanted to avoid having stations with identical names.

Look at the rendering from the announcement. Woodbine GO is not the final station name as indicated. I'd expect something like "Woodbine Racetrack" - which is honestly fair to give the developer the naming rights when they have contributed so much cash.

The developer might want the name to be a bit broader thematically than just the racetrack - the whole idea is it's to be a broader development and destination district and not just the races.
"Queens Plate" would be appropriate and a bit more thematic. Then we'd have two transit waypoints on the system whose names start with Queens, both accessing enterprises producing piles of horsepoop.

Considering how ugly all of Rexdale is, this is wholly appropriate!

Tracks have been shifted back to where they were in the first place for Confederation station. The 2nd track base is in place and it will be some decades before the track is install along with a switch(s).
All the shelter glass is cover up with green paper for protection from the rail base of the shifted track with a fair amount of work still to be done for the platform area and the main entrance. Parking lot is strip. New fencing being installed on the south side and to the bush area to the west.
Ready to open in September.

Thanks for the update. Have you heard anything regarding service levels on opening day?

There will be the 3 Niagara round trips, and 3 or 4 rush hour express trips that originate from the Lewis Rd Yard.

Is that the heating in the platform?
That's what all the endless Long Branch announcements are about then when I travel to Exhibition or Mimico.

I don't about the announcements other than coaches not servicing the station due to new tunnels and platforms being built as phase 1 including heated platforms like the rest that have been built. Phase 2 will see the current platform and tunnel rebuilt after phase 1 opens,

So what did they do on the stoufville line this weekend? Did they make any further double tracking?

There was no construction this weekend. It’s next weekend.

It's the spacers for the heating, yes. The next step is to lay out the plastic tubing that holds the heated liquid. It takes a lot of that tubing!

Yes, Long Branch has been reduced to a temporary partial-length platform for quite some time now, while the platforms are reconstructed.
