I know the pro subway people here will disagree with me simply because its not a subway, but I am wondering that while waiting for the Relief Line to be built in 2031, and then the Yonge Subway extension to be built after that, if adding GO-RER to the Richmond Hill line, and re-routing over the Don Branch wouldn't offer some sort of interim service to the area the Yonge subway extension will ultimately service, while not over crowding the current subway service.
It would require trackwork done to the Don Branch, as well as the Leaside Spur, and track paralelleing the CP line from the Don Branch to the Leaside Spur, as well as another track from Old Cummer to Richmond Hill GO Station (as CN owns that line), and adding stations at John-Green Ln and 16th Ave, as shown on the map, but its all work that should be done eventually anyways, so why not do it before the Yonge Subway as an alternative while we wait?
