There are photos on Twitter and Facebook tonight of changes to CTC signalling just placed in service in the Mount Joy area on the Stouffville GO line. The changes establish a "home signal" at the south end of the Mount Joy platform, which is consistent with what was done elsewhere eg Aurora to allow trains to turn back from that location.
I don't recall seeing any official announcement from ML that mid-day trains were being extended to Mount Joy, but that would make an awful lot of sense and would likely increase ridership significantly by eliminating the bus ride to Unionville.
There isn't much hope for increased headways until the Agincourt and Milliken stations are rebuilt - currently only one track and one platform, even when the second track is added there's no way to stop in both directions on more than an hourly basis without a platform for the second track, and underground tunnels to connect..
I'm actually missing the Del Duca days when these things were promised, and re-promised, and photo-opp'ed ad nauseum, long before they happened. Well, maybe not that much. Anyways, here's hoping that service change isn't far away.
