Page 78 & 81 indicate “After GO Expansion” (with the equally vague caveat, on page 44-45, that “Modifications to Reference Train Service Plan May be made in advance of procurement based on train simulation.”) Which would suggest they’ve finished all RER expansions.

Possibly when Aldershot-like ridership materializes, or when Grimsby-Niagara is built out through P3 arrangements.

Metrolinx had previously forecast its service expansions on a 10-year horizon, so 2029 or thereabouts might be a ballpark. Curiously, their Initial Business Case had the opposite scenario in mind. Could be new CEO Verster putting his stamp on things.
