Maybe but they’re getting a subway. They will have two options.Richmond Hill line would like to have a word with you.

I hope Langstaff road gets grade separated along with the subway. I've had 4 close calls at this crossing in the last monthMaybe but they’re getting a subway. They will have two options.
Hopefully driving the train, and not a car!I hope Langstaff road gets grade separated along with the subway. I've had 4 close calls at this crossing in the last month
Can’t imagine a subway that runs every 3 mins on average not having grade separation. This would cause some massive issues if this didn’t happen.I hope Langstaff road gets grade separated along with the subway. I've had 4 close calls at this crossing in the last month
The subway will be underground. The grade separation would be between the Richmond Hill GO train and Langstaff Road.Can’t imagine a subway that runs every 3 mins on average not having grade separation. This would cause some massive issues if this didn’t happen.
CN is not abandoning that line anytime soon. It's a vey popular for freight. Just because a blogpost says it doesn't mean it will happen.GO Trains to Cambridge - Solving the 40-year Debacle

Great article about GO service to Cambridge. Pours some cold water on the Fergus Spur plan as there are some proposed developments on adjacent properties along the rail corridor which will prevent expanded rail use.
Unfortunately, it appears the only future this line has is as a trail since CN wants to abandon it.
They are down to one customer in Cambridge with service once per week. That's a lot of track miles and several high maintenance bridges and crossing for very little revenue. CN wants out of the Fergus Spur and the only reason it has stuck around this long is because they are speculating on selling it for GO service. If the Fergus Spur GO plan falls through, the line is done, and as highlighted above, it will be redeveloped, permanently erasing the corridor.CN is not abandoning that line anytime soon.

Well that was fast. The author might be reading this thread...Relevant new article

"A study for the preliminary design of a GO connection between Cambridge and Guelph is underway, with an update expected in the spring and a final report next fall, said regional transportation commissioner Mathieu Goetzke."
the Fergus sub. which is confusing because the line no longer goes to Fergus.
I don’t see how a Milton extension is better. Not only is CP’s mainline a tough duck to expand service on, it also doesn’t have as many options for local trips or leave much room for service expansion if successful. The number of people going from Cambridge to Milton is low compared to Guelph; perhaps even lower than those going from Cambridge to Toronto.They are down to one customer in Cambridge with service once per week.

Regardless, the Fergus Spur compares poorly with a Milton Line extension, and any Cambridge to Guelph traffic is much better served by busses.
Hopefully Next can be an extension to Bradford, either through using the Dundas sub,or the old ROW from Cambridge.
Yes, Brantford.....I always confuse the 2 even though I know the 2.You mean Brantford.
Bradford is already served by the Barrie Corridor.
