That almost sounds like TTC rolling out the traffic congestion to explain everything.
Very good news. One wonders at what point, we start to see some gains in travel times.
I just realized. What happens to the 14:53 union departure, as that consist used to turn into the 15:54 mount pleasant train however now its using the same consist as the 12:53. The only solution i could come up with is have a 17:00 train making all stops to union. With that and making the current Bramalea deadhead into a revenue train technically Bramalea has all day 2 way except for missing a 19:00 and 20:00 departure and Mount Pleasant has a 4 hour gap.

I'm surprised the province is funding a smart card system without mentioning whether it's Presto or not.
I don't think anybody would want a to-scale GO map, it would make the huge system harder to understand ngl
That seems typical for the Kitchener trains, though, it depends on the day of the week. Far more people take the train on fridays than other days of the week. Depending on the time of year, I usually count:
I'm honestly really sceptical of those numbers. Personally, I think they might only be counting PRESTO trips, which works for almost every station except Kitchener, Acton, and Guelph (since presto isn't adopted in those areas and commuting via GO to those cities is considered somewhat absurd, meaning trains are often used by occasional users).
