Would counter-peak service require double tracking?
According to the schedule, run time between Rutherford and Union is 31 minutes with the stop at York U, 29 without. So it costs 2 minutes to the schedule. Doesn't sound like much, but tally on operation costs.
Perhaps they will be measuring ridership post-Downview Park to justify closure. Or they're waiting for the TTC co-fare to kick in. Or they're waiting for a 100% subsidy of the TTC fare. No matter what, I'm not convinced they're keeping it open in the medium term.
yes. Trains need a spot to pass each other.

Then counter-peak will likely be the next major change on Barrie given that they're double tracking it currently. When can we reasonably expect that to conclude?

strangely (IMO) they are twitter marketing the new trains as a connection to the new subway station at Downsview Park
Haven't they already double tracked York U to Rutherford?yes. Trains need a spot to pass each other.
