Well I don't understand your outrage over the tunnel @TOareaFan. It will be necessary if/when full 2WAD service begins. CN may or may not be holding out service to Bramalea as a negotiation lever for the larger bypass. Nothing rules out that could get resolved, with or without the accompanying bypass, between now and finishing construction on the tunnel. And if not, what difference is made? In terms of real dollars, the price should remain about the same, and the asset will remain there until it comes to be used; the only financial impact will the extra years of maintenance (relative peanuts).
Frankly, I think it is prudent to have it in place sooner than later. I also believe there is a high risk of unexpected complications and schedule overruns, given the age and uncertainty of what lays below the 401. But maybe we must agree to disagree.
