ALT1: ... that Thornton's Corners GO Station will be built along a rail extension spanning over Ontario Highway 401, the busiest highway in the world? --Natural R_X 20:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

but it is not the busiest at that point. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:11, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

"...one of the busiest highways..."? --Natural R_X 19:48, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Seems irrelevant. The 401 is just a regular 6 lane highway at the point where the new link will cross. Just like crossing the Amazon where it is only a steam. Now, if there was going to be some gigantic structure across a massive divide, that would be notable. Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:50, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Like Secondarywaltz, I think mention of highway 401 is tangential to the topic, and your two proposals may be unintentionally misleading. (I do think there's a better hook buried somewhere in the article, though.) Mind matrix 21:17, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Full review needed, now that creators have discussed the hooks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:28, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Date and length are fine. Hook is acceptable though hardly thrilling. No obvious policy issues (copyvio/paraphrasing/NPOV etc). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:29, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
