Talk:Lakeshore East line

What rails?
In the downtown TO area the GO trains run on the former CN/CP lines. At some point outside the downtown area the service switches to dedicated lines. I'm curious where this happens, and when the various portions of the lines were built. I assume, for instance, that the Danforth GO Station is located on land originally intended for the Scarborough Expressway, but I'm not sure if the rail lines along that corridor were there before the Expressway, or after.

Can someone help out here?

Bowmanville extension station names
Metrolinx has changed the names of the proposed stations along the Bowmanville extension. The following table gives the 2011 and 2023 station names. I plan to rename three of the four following articles to reflect the 2023 station names, and then change article contents. I am drafting changes for the four station articles offline, and won't do the renaming until the drafts are ready to go. Changes would also be needed to Template:GO Transit and Lakeshore East line. Are there any other articles or templates that would need change? TheTrolleyPole (talk) 01:59, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * To clarify, some of the stations weren't just renamed, they are also in different locations but I still support these moves. However, the Riston station is usually labled as "Riston Road" and so Ritson Road GO Station should be the article title. BLAIXX 03:48, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The Metrolinx exhibits are inconsistant. The project page says "Ritson Road" while the PIC presentation and Key Componants document omit the word "Road". However, if you feel more comfortable with "Ritson Road", then that is what the article name will include. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 18:32, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Once you perform the moves, Template:GO Transit Lakeshore East is another to be edited. BLAIXX 22:42, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I find that only Thornton's Corners East GO Station is in a relocated position. I compared 2023 project maps to the infobox coordinates. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 00:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Renaming done plus many updates to station article text. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 02:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
