But how will you get there from any of the lines except Milton?
Click to expand...

You mean Milton, the 3rd busiest GO Train line on the entire network?

Also, this would potentially create another line East out to Peterborough, going through East York.

Finally, go could potentially have some RER trains from the Kitchener Line go to this station as an alternate spur.

As well a Bolton GO line could end up on this routing as well.

And how do you plan to connect the KW/Bolton line to the Crosstown Line????

Not Crosstown, the question was about the Midtown GO line. (in the Crosstown thread, I realize, we got a bit off topic)

Midtown is Crosstown line before the Eglinton Crosstown surface. Regardless, what the answer??
 
If we had even a quarter of the fantasy lines the government spend millions studying we would have incredible transit. Alas, all we have is countless studies, failed starts, and political pandering. Feel like home :)

You misunderstand. But its ok. Not everyone is meant to understand.

I explained myself well enough twice, Im not going to waste time explaining further.
 
With the Midtown GO Train, expect to see more construction around Leslie & Eglinton at the railway bridge, for railroad track expansion. Instead of doing the expansion now, it'll happen in a decade, two, or three decades from now.

Those coming from the east end would use the future East Harbour station to connect to the Ontario Line north to Midtown (and the Crosstown west/east).

That will be a slower route and with more transfer. Changing at Union and then taking Yonge line will be faster and more convenience. Yonge line is not even crowded in that direction in mornings while Crosstown will more crowded.
 
Did some shooting in the east end for the first time in months, with some major changes to very little.

Don Mills and Eglinton intersection should be back to normal by year end depending on traffic light for final setting. The west side is pave and waiting striping. The east side is seeing the last 2 westbound lanes pour that will be pave over along with the pour lanes at Don Mills. Once they pave the Don Mills northbound lanes on both side of the intersection as well the new Eglinton lanes, they can fix the southbound lanes including the Eglinton intersection.

New temporary traffic lights being install where TTC buses turn on to Eglinton by Kennedy Station to allow Eglinton Lanes to move back to where they should be. The north side of Eglinton at Kennedy Rd partly moved back to where it used to be along with sidewalks and driveway on the west side.

East of Sinnott Rd to the west side of Victoria Park has the overhead system in place, including the 3 areas where trains can transfer one track to another. From the west side of the DVP to just before Laird Dr, overhead in place.

Neither portal has track or overhead in place. West side of Victoria Park to the west side of DVP have no overhead support brackets on the columns.

About 50% of the tracks in place and about 40% of the stations are built. Some stations have glass handrail is various locations on the platform.

I will leave info for some stations in the stations threads.

Photos to follow.
