Similar to what I’ve heard, and there is some level of pressure from MX on CN to get it done.Signal system cutover is tentatively scheduled for the new year.

From what I hear about MX's on-time project record, that seems a bit rich.Similar to what I’ve heard, and there is some level of pressure from MX on CN to get it done.
The time saving for peak-period trains will be 10 minutes per trip, not 20, as I have documented here. Metrolinx is advertising "20 minutes saved on your commute" because they're adding both directions together, which is a typical way that they make their statistics misleading. Still, a 10 min saving for peak-period trains is very welcome.I hopefully will have to get Niagara Go Trains will start rolling into pocket track and cut down from 2h 24 minutes to 2h 4 mins by this month.
Did you have a look at the LRT at the PC station??Thanks for all the info everyone! The family and I have booked a very non-adventurous simple GO Train trip out to Port Credit. Grab lunch, look around a bit and come right back. Very short and simple, but then so are the kids.

If you going tomorrow, exited the north side of the station and walk up to the new Englewood bridge, then cross Hurontario to go south. You will see the new Mary Fix Creek channel that has been built as well the northern section from the bridge being built. You will cross the tracks for the LRT that are in place on the west side of the and they will swing to the centre about 300-400m to the north.No, we haven't gone yet.
We're going tomorrow.
If you do Sq One, you will get a good view of the 4 towers for the Exchange District, M1 & M2, Parkside Village, Square One District and the city core from the bus terminal platform as well Sheridan College/University.Thank you! Will definitely try to do a bunch of that.
Especially when the elevator is constantly broken...One other little nitpick about West Harbour. I hope that installing a fence between the two station tracks is not neglected, because if they don’t lots of people might just cross the tracks to get to the other platform. Especially relevant due to the design of the station and long hike up stairs to get to the other track if you go to the wrong one.
Having to permit Cargoflo routings to cross from the freight main through the GO west approach hardly helps there. If only it could be moved to somewhere on the North side of the Hamilton CN trackage.Now count the number of different routings and thus permutations and combinations of signal indications into West Harbour from the Hamilton Jct area......it's actually a very complex junction and therefore a pretty large signals installation.
