A really quick one.
It's the easiest corridor to implement. If this actually happens, the Talent will shuttle between Scarborough on the Lakeshore East line and Markham (likely Mount Joy) and will not conflict with other rail uses - as Transport regulations forbid the direct mix of light rail (Talent) and heavy rail (GO monster trains, VIA, freights).
Milton does have the highest ridership off Lakeshore, but Georgetown will come first with all-day service. CP's the problem there, and some stations (Dixie, Cooksville) are supposedly served by Lakeshore, the Milton line was implemented in 1981 largely to relieve congestion on Lakeshore West.
The ridership issue is moot if the ability to run the O Train on tracks separate from other types of trains is the main/only prerequisite. Could it be run on the Milton line?
I repeat. This will not be realistic for Milton. Stouffville is the only one which will work.
So what then do you propose for Milton, which is the next busiest line after Lakeshore? Status quo?
