As a heads up, memo's were released yesterday indicating that hourly midday train service will be starting on the Barrie Line in January to East Gwilimbury.
The question now is if they will be maintaining half hourly headways supplemented by the bus fleet, or if we will be adopting the same path that the stouffville line took.
Nope. You'll see the half-hourly bus service replaced by hourly trains. Good news that it's going all the way up to East Gwilimbury, a logical terminal point beyond the main population centres; a big problem with the Unionville service is the bus connections to Centennial, Markham, Mount Joy that add much more time than the direct bus to Union was.
A lot better than having the turn-back at Aurora. It's pretty much the same thing what happened to the Kitchener Line: half-hourly buses on two branches (Brampton via 410 Express and Bramalea-Malton) replaced by hourly midday trains, with a turnback at that line's equivalent to East Gwilimbury (Mount Pleasant).
