I do not know Hamilton to such an extent, that I would be able to recognize its GO stations from a set of photographs. However I'd like to comment on the raised subjects. (1) All day GO does not have to become a reality on specific date or from specific station. GO/METROLINX/CN should show to everyone, that they are committed to completion and progress towards that goal without complicated SMT items. What can be done towards that goal? High speed switches,heated switches,improved signalling,two-way traffic on all tracks,higher speed of GO trains in general,space considerations for future electrification and such. (2) There is REALLY no such thing as specific LRT technology. The LRT acronym can mean anything and does not point to a specific solution. The LRT advocates make a switch from one level (?) of LRT to another without even considering or acknowledging the switch had been made (It is similar to comparing TGV with GO).
On one side of spectrum you may find T.O. Fleet Street or Queens' Quay and on the other side of spectrum a video from Folsom (CA,USA). I suspect that in all likelyhood Hamilton will be on level with "Fleet street" but never on par with Folsom. Which means, that at least one if not two lanes of auto-traffic will have to be eliminated either fully or partially thru both corridors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoUOrpcMZeQ&feature=related
