"Successful Effort" would imply that his effort has had some success.

GO announced a station on James Street North as far back as 2008, when $3 million was earmarked for a "new station" on James Street North. This station would allow two-way all day GO train service to Hamilton.

Since this announcement GO Transit has decided to expand service through the Niagara region, and began the process of planning GO stations, including two in Hamilton, one of which would be on James Street North. Presumably again, these stations would allow for two-way all day GO train service to Hamilton.

The mayor's stated mission is to get two-way all day GO service to Hamilton - something we already know has been a long time coming, but just hasn't happened yet.

If it happens during his tenure as mayor, would that be due to his "successful effort?"

If it doesn't happen during his tenure as mayor, will that be due to his "unsuccessful effort"?

I'm not sure where you see the mayor as having undertaken a successful effort to get all-day two way GO train service to Hamilton, but until those trains start running, I'd be wary of any "positive developments" because as we've seen in the past - talk is cheap.
