Quote:Part of the reason Shirley Avenue is considered a temporary fix is GO Transit’s own policy not to drive trains backwards to a station. Permanent layover facilities are built beyond the last station to allow trains to move forward after startup.
Not entirely true. The Milton Line went in the opposite direction: they stopped storing their trains at Guelph Junction in favour of a layover lot just ahead of Milton station.
