Oshawa GO spur[edit]

What I call the "Oshawa GO spur" is a connection between the CN and CP lines in Oshawa. There are at least 3 proposed versions of this spur which I will call the 2011, 2020 and 2021 versions. All 3 versions are substantially different. The 2020 and 2021 versions are described in Lakeshore East line#Bowmanville expansion. The obsolete 2011 version (published in 2011) is described in the Thornton's Corners GO Station article which places the station in a location that would be impossible in the 2021 version. (The document] describing the 2021 version does not seem to indicate where the station should be.) So, due to obsolescence, I are inclined to delete paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Thornton's Corners GO Station article. Would you agree? Or do you want the 2011 version to be described somewhere? @Julius177, Joeyconnick, and Blaixx: TheTrolleyPole (talk) 01:55, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that much of the 2011 proposal should be removed from this article (and moved to Lakeshore East line if necessary). Maybe 1 paragraph about the original station location would be appropriate here. BLAIXX 02:31, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have no issue with your proposal, TheTrolleyPole... sounds sensible. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:22, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
