Yeah, I hadn't gotten to the end of the document when I wrote that!Both of those stations: the following quote is from the presentation.
So they're not gone, just not slated for 2024.
Park lawn is specifically called out for future consideration.
And then it goes on to say:
"The remaining 24 stations that did not undergo initial business case analysis are identified for future
consideration in the context of longer term regional transportation planning."
Which basically means that none of the stations are truly, completely, forever ruled out. But conditions will need to change for them to be reconsidered.
From a true RER standpoint, it's a bit annoying that all the lines coming in from the West still only share a station at Union, despite Bloor, Liberty Village, and Spadina all having multiple lines run through. If GO is to become a real way to move around the city (and not just into the city), they will need to give people ways to transfer between lines without a lot of backtracking.
