However in the meantime I haven't heard much action on the yard, though it is still shown in the GO Expansion track plans. It's possible that Metrolinx is hesitant to invest in a maintenance facility which would only be able to handle 3-car EMUs.
Especially since now they are saying they don't want to convert the current DMUs to EMUs. That was a selling feature of those trains but its turned out to be more cost and headache than worth.
I am willing to bet that once GO-RER happens on that corridor, they just use the same (albeit shorter) EMU's for UPX as the rest of the network and then modify the UPX stations to fit. Then it would be extra useless to have a maintenance facility that only serves these specific 3 car EMUs.
