And a DRL would have to connect with Cityplace, unless a DRL Liberty Village station were to be sandwiched between Exhibition GO station and a new Liberty Village GO station at King St.

We might as well call this 3 stations because there's no way a Front/Spadina and a "Liberty Village" will be built together. That's unless they're calling Liberty Village a station that's far north of the actual Liberty Village neighborhood. We know how Metrolinx has a penchant for ridiculous station naming these days.
So basically, GO RER is simply rebranded as SmartTrack. Tory takes the credit for work that GO/Metrolinx has been doing for years now.
LOL! Front & Spadina? That's the last time I want to hear Mimico is too close to PL.
The other option looks at creating a second terminal further west, on the rail corridor near Bathurst or Strachan, and then building a downtown relief subway line that connects this “shoulder station” to the downtown office district, then runs east along Queen Street and ultimately swings up the Bloor-Danforth line around Pape (this DRL would also extend down to the CNE).That new terminus, dubbed the Bathurst North Yard Station, would mainly serve commuters from the north and western regions of the GTA. It could divert as many as a third of GO riders before they reach Union Station, according to the agency’s preliminary estimates.
That was at Bathurst for the new yard wasn't it?It might be a "second union station", as was an idea from a while ago. Basically creating another "Union", where the trains from the west stop at, and trains from the East stop at Union.
The idea is to have a subway connect them however.

So essentially trains would crawl from Front/Spadina to around King/Sudbury at a 15km/h clip, that sounds great.Front/Spadina is an older Metrolinx proposal for a Union Station reliever station, built at the current site of the GO Bathurst North Yard. Liberty Village will likely be at King/Sudbury area, a few kilometres from Spadina.
So essentially trains would crawl from Front/Spadina to around King/Sudbury at a 15km/h clip, that sounds great.

The signal/track upgrade at Union is supposed to speed up the trains, but would it have time to accelerate to a good clip before having to brake for the Spadina station? Not so sure.
