OMG, you are so obtuse sometimes it makes it hard for me to be polite and apologize for things; especially when you don't accept and persist with inanities.
Go back and READ what was said: the map shows a proposed alternate route on the southern stretch. Someone else pointed out that the bridges across Sheppard and Finch present obstacles for realigning the tracks to which there was an "LOL! Moving tracks is the easiest!" So, you'll note, my comment was asking how you would move the tracks BETWEEN SHEPPARD AND FINCH, where there are townhomes.
As for my historian hat, please feel free to correct me on any point.
OR, as I requested, please feel free to provide any evidence whatsoever of your ridiculous, made-up and biased assertions and editorializing about internal attitudes at Metrolinx (e.g. they were "lukewarm" to this or "begrudgingly" did that) when it's clear - subject to correction - you actually have no idea.
Speaking of which, this is a news story and not a primary source but Metrolinx definitely was looking at RER on the RH corridor.
Apart from the Barrie line, Metrolinx also has plans to implement all-day, two-way service on the Richmond Hill line, from Union to Richmond Hill Station, and the Stouffville line, from Union to Mount Joy Station, within the 15-year plan, Mr. Ostler said.
But maybe he was saying it begrudingly, eh? Maybe it was always just a lukewarm idea.
Ok but that's a Metrolinx map so save the lols for them. Two tracks b/n Sheppard and Finch is obviously a nonissue. And I already wrote about the RL two pages ago. Your reply was a continuation of crafted history and the usual irrelevant tirades like going on about Tory being some kind of ogre, so it was ignored. As for that link you unearthed, like I said AD2W (which isn't RER).
