Im not from Toronto, never been there and don't pretend to know much about it. My question is this: does GO plan on electrifying any of their lines? GO resembles so many other non-east coast commuter rail ops that use a rake of double deck coaches behind a single diesel locomotive unit. This set up works fine for infrequent service, but as ridership rises, timetables crunch, acceleration becomes more important and concern about environmental impact increases(CO2, noise, vibration), electrification becomes part of the conversation - at least should. Any chatter in Ontario about this?
