He's driven away from the 407etr and has hopped on the "GO". McGuinty promises all-day service to/from Hamilton

Hamilton will have all-day, two-way GO train service in time for the 2015 Pan Am Games, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Friday.

McGuinty, who made the announcement Liuna Station on James Street North, also promised that Hamilton will see two new stations — one on James North, across the street from Liuna, and the other at Confederation Park. The move is expected to create 8,000 jobs.

Mayor Bob Bratina — who has focused on bringing all-day GO train service to Hamilton — was the only other speaker at McGuinty’s Hamilton appearance. It’s the second time Bratina has appeared alongside Hamilton’s slate of Liberal candidates to promote all-day GO service in the past two weeks.

Thanks Dalton but the last thing Toronto wants is more Hamiltonians.

FYI any all day service , on any line west, east or north is impossible to have. GO shares the train tracks with CN , CP rail, Via Rail etc etc.... We also don't have enough people to support this

Actually, Metrolinx/GO has been buying up many of the lines they operate on from CP and CN so owns quite a bit of track.
