Um... Metrolinx is against the DRL since when?
The TTC already does something similar with our system map. But using colours to differentiate frequency is a good idea. The only issue is that our rapid transit lines would need to be the same colour.
I made a hypothetical GO Regional Express Rail map (PDF), similar to what we might see in the future in the style of the current GO train system map. Some new stations here and there, though I'm sure many can be taken out if the lands around them can't be redeveloped, as this map banks on high density nodes at nearly every (new) station.
Nice map! A few comments:
1) The Hamilton and Niagara services will both be using the James North station when it's completed, so the split after Aldershot won't be necessary.

2) There are plans underway for a Lakeshore East extension to Bowmanville via downtown Oshawa. That should probably be included, considering it's at about the same stage as the Gormley extension.
Why does the GO Train Map differ so much from their System Map? They’re both simplified schematics... wouldn’t it make more sense to only use the more optimal System Map – but with bus routes omitted when only showing train service?
I'm not aware of any Metrolinx plan not to pursue electrification of Richmond Hill. At the last Metrolinx meeting in March, the report on RER discussed both the Milton and Richmond Hill corridors. They are clearly not going first, but there's been no indication that they aren't in the long-term plan, as far as I know.In light of the decision by Metrolinx not to pursue electrfication of Richmond Hill, I think it's less likely you'll get the Gerrard and Don Mills stations (ie. they won't be investing more in that corridor on the south end).
