Wow no Stouffville weekend service? Nothing on Barrie?

CN roadswitchers are able to get from Malport down to Rexdale without conflicting with GO. There are service tracks on the north side and in places on the south side. It's a much more workable setup than the Newmarket Sub, even with all the commuter trains.
The new turnback train is interesting because at rush hour, GO is limited to single direction running due to CN and UPE conflicts and single platform at Etobicoke West. There are two usable tracks as far as Malton, but the second track is idle until midday 2 way service starts. Might as well use it to run a turnback train up to Malton. It's creative, at least.

I'm just surprised that you're surprised, considering how much you root for the PCs. Isn't this what you wanted?Wow no Stouffville weekend service? Nothing on Barrie?

Except for when you factor in deadheads or expresses. They will schedule those on the southern two mains, as then they won't be delaying the much-vaunted UPX trains. (The current 3pm and 3.52pm departures from Mount Pleasant will do this if necessary.)
So this train will deadhead up behind a UPX to Wice, then shift over to the north to continue on to Malton.

Under the libs, we had a fairly consistent stream of GO related announcements, many of which were kind of hilarious and/or stupid (i.e. SDD holding a press conference re: a new Tim Hortons location at a GO station), but actual service enhancements became a regular feature nevertheless. And, they didn't wait until 6 days before a service change to not announce a change, mainly because their service changes had some substance.Yeah you can stuff it with your assumptions. The PCs have been in power for all of three months. Major improvements to something as major (and ossified) as GO Rail take years. If anything, it's the Liberals' fault again. But at a certain point, Liberal bashing grows wearisome (just as con bashing does).
