The CTC system on the Barrie line from mile 20.7 to 30.1 was put in service this weekend and there's a new controlled location at mile 30.1(just north of Aurora station) called "Machell", for those interested.

I’m thrilled to announce we’re committing to bringing two-way, all-day GO train service between the Waterloo & Toronto Regions. #WRawesome

Just confirmed.
apparently it will be brought up to 6 peak hour trains by 2016 and presumably when Brampton gets AD2W Waterloo will as well.
It will presumably be with all the other AD2W projects in planning for the big move.. Brampton will be getting AD2W in the coming years regardless.
no, it couldn't. we established this, another track would need to be built. Its pretty minor work, but it would be needed to be done, as well as adding double platforms to a lot of the train stations.
They gave no specific date on when it will actually happen, only that they will be adding 2 additional trains by 2016.
True, but the Halton Sub sees more freight trains than the Kingston and Oakville Sub see VIAs.
don't think that is confirmation. Smallspay is saying that The heavy freight traffic may make it unrealistic. (especially given freight trains size and slower speeds)
If GO was serious about it, it would technically require zero additional infrastructure to run all day two way, hourly service to Mount Pleasant (plus current and some additional peak-direction trains) once the work on the Weston Sub is finished. This fact needs to be pushed and pushed hard.
You're absolutely right
