Even without the CN issue, two-way, all-day service would mean something like sixteen trains a day each way (I'm assuming that it would be similar service levels to Lakeshore West when it first got two-way, all-day, so hourly). That's a big increase in service levels relative to what we have today.
Getting that done anywhere, by any agency, in a year would be a very tall order. I had never read about the long lead time for new conductors, but that makes sense. Allocating resources to triple service takes time, and I am assuming (and hoping) it will be done incrementally. So, if we have that level of service running sometime in 2023, I really will be impressed.
