I wouldn't be surprised if they are looking at a Niagara connection via the CP tracks east of Hamilton GO Centre. The CP track is less travelled than the CN line and it would be easier to fit in GO pasenger train schedules along this line of track. Also, it would be easier (and cheaper) to acquire the land needed for park-and-ride stations along the CP track. Previous construction announcements for the Hamilton Junction grade seperation and widening of the Hunter Street tunnel seem to indicate a leaning toward higher utilization of the CP tracks.
