Would you have the link for that? Probably should be downloaded/screenshoted in case it's taken down.

It was on the chart from November

Thanks. I missed that aspect at the time.

There were lots of things quietly revealed in those documents from November. Another one is the elimination of hourly off-peak service to Barrie, even though (as you can see in this diagram) they're still planning to build all the infrastructure required for hourly service since they still need it during peak periods.

Just for completeness - the two mission chart editions are in the ML Board Meeting docs
Nov 27 2025 version
Feb 12 2026 version
There's only so much that can fit on a chart, but further things I noticed
- Fourth Track Nickle to Humberview is shown as complete however signals have not been cut in and not a single train has ever used this track
- No mention of Randolph access to Bloor station, nor connection to the Dundas West TTC station
- No mention of Danforth Station, which is a prerequisite to opening the 4th track east to Scarboro Jct and will possibly lead to 2-track operation for a time east of Danforth interlocking (EDIT: These are on the map page, but not the mission page)

Speaking of sudden omissions, I had thought I saw yesterday that there was a written quarterly report on both GO and Rapid transit under the Quarterly Report sections of the agenda.... but when I went to download them just now, they have disappeareed.
Was I imagining things?

The glossy presentations are there, yes, but in the past there was also a written writeup, that's what I thought I saw yesterday.

I had similar thoughts. My interpretation is the long form written reports seem have been consolidated into the second half of the slide deck and transitioned to bullet form updates on projects.

Noticed from UP express this morning there is more progress than just sound walls at Woodbine. 2 or 3 tracks are being realigned(yes, heavy machinery was active!) in this sort of shape to allow for the island platform:
No photos as I thought this was already covered here, now that I’m looking I can’t find any coverage.

It's to allow construction of the island platforms in a construction Green Zone (no active rail traffic). From the Board Mtg GO Capital Projects presentation:

It will be interesting to see if Woodbine is a faster construction as a result of removing the operating trains.
One would think it ought to be. But that is not typical ML to date.
And, there is a dependency in terms of tieing in the tunnels at the 401 and the connection to whatever track is built at Resources road.. Possibly once Woodbine is ready, operations will be reduced to two tracks until that is done.

How long did Mount Dennis take before work slowed down as the Line 5 opening date kept slipping? They built a diversion around the first two platforms too

Hey guys do we have any word on the Guelph sub works, Acton, Guelph second platform works?
Did they just kick the can down a couple years?
Or anything new on the Kitchener capacity increase project, flyover, etc?
On a Kitchener train I noticed some structures coming up at what I believe was the Heritage layover, unless I was mistaken. So work seems to be progressing decently there.
