There has been discussions that GO is going to exceed capacity at Union Station, maybe a few years after all that construction finishes. Could the DRL provide alternative transfer points, based on such findings? What if GO train stations could be setup to make such a transfer with the DRL (at a lower GO fare, of course). For example, what if a Gerrard/Pape GO station was built, replacing the Danforth GO station, how many people would that benefit or hinder?
That's pretty much what I had in mind.
I'd also rather have a "Lower Union" station built underneath Yonge street to accommodate Lakeshore trains and potentially future High Speed Rail instead of building another satellite station at Bathurst. "Other cities of Toronto's size have multiple major railway stations" is frankly a misguided argument when advocating for a second station. In other cities, (Boston, Montreal, NYC) the rail lines terminated close to downtown and didn't run through them because of geographic constraints with existing development. CN (Formerly Grand Trunk) decided to simply extend the Waterfront.
