Two more renderings of Terminal 1 station from the UP and GO electrification open houses: (sorry if these have been posted already)
No, the Milton Line will not be switching over to the Weston Sub/Georgetown Line. They are running the Galt Sub track to be parallel with the Weston Sub to allow them to build the rest of the tunnel quickly.

I still get the feeling regardless what has been said to date, the Milton Line will be stopping at Bloor to allow connection to the UP Line. It should had happen from day one since you are forcing riders to go all the way to Union to travel the same distance again to get to/from the airport and wasting people time.
I find that strange since they put in 3/4 of the tunnel on the weekend, leaving the Milton corridor to be done on another weekend. What so special about the tunnel on that side since my source at Metrolinx is gone now for this line for this move?

Agreed. Given the trains already stop at Kipling, and there is a non-stop express bus from Kipling to Pearson, wouldn't it be faster (and cheaper!) to change at Kipling than at Dundas West?Do they expect many people to travel eastward on that line to switch to UPE? I would be surprised if there were many/any that would do that...even if they could make the swtich at Bloor.

I would love to see GO try having bus extesions from Dixie and Malton to the Airport. Have a bus waiting for each eastbound train (maybe even westbound) that would take people directly from those stations into the airport terminals.
