GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

From the budget (PDF here). One page for GO service expansion. No new news.

Well it looks not only like GO London is permanent but also the province wants to both speed the service and expand it. That's great news because as it stands right now, the service is basically useless. What would be ideal would be if GO starts doing trips INTO London in the am with trains leaving in pm. This would mean that the service would actually be useful for London commuters as opposed to just another way to get to Toronto.

If the point was to serve London to Toronto commuters, then it would go through Brantford - which doesn't need much in the way of upgrades. VIA Rail already serves this market well.

^Three percent grade at Oshawa, diesel operation possibly requiring shorter trainsets and/or two units.

7 New has clearly been a political tool for decades and no government seems to want to foot the bill to actually build it.

7 New is too useful as a reelection tool for governing parties to actual finish the project. I predict it will remain in-progress for another 50 years at least. I just find it unbelievable that voters actual fall for this continual bate-and-switch.
