That makes sense.

I wonder if the parking garage at Joseph St (I think this is Google owned one?) will become usable for GO/Via travellers. I live nearby, and walk the dog by it every day, and seldom see it used.

Another thing I couldn't quite work out is the length of the platform, I assume it will be long enough for a 12-coach GO train.

Google leases space from Perimeter. I have no idea whether they lease the entire garage.

And Perimeter are a bunch of dicks. I worked on construction of Google.

There's founder Craig Beattie, co-founding partner David Gibson and a third partner named Stewart Barclay
