I'm not sure I caught this announcement the first time out, almost two years ago, but I thought maybe it's worth noting.

The all-day GO Train service that the government has proposed for Hamilton "would involve 10 trains each way between the proposed new Hamilton station and Union Station in Toronto". In other words, Hamilton's current train service level will increase by 250%, to 14 outbound trips a day.

That's basically hourly from 5am to 6pm, filling the space between the existing rush hour service.

And 20 months later when they were again announcing all-day GO trains for Hamilton, the Liberals seem to have omitted the finer points of the plan:

If anyone has any evidence to the contrary, has an official planning document or a senior official voicing a commitment, could you link to it?
