Bigguy...the CP line is presently used by GO for their seasonal Niagara train service. There's a plan to expand this to a full-service GO train line within the next 5 years.

I'm completely with you on WH. But Bob Young isn't. Interestingly the GO plan points out the James St. N. location as being "geographically favourable, near waterfront and future stadium site"

Yes, I know the line is 1 km away from Confederation Park (or about 500m as the crow flies). Which is almost identical to the distance MIP will be from the B-line LRT. Both of these options would require pedestrians to make an extremely inhospitable journey between stadium and transit.

There's no way a GO station would be built at MIP. It is on a different line, and would require a jog out of the way from downtown, slowing down the express service to downtown Hamilton and beyond.
