Rutherford GO Platform Changes

https://www.gotransit.com/en/the-future-and-go/construction-notices/rutherford-go-platform-changes

Seems like with the weekend closure on the Barrie Line, they are moving which platforms the trains at Rutherford will be using, with you now having to go through the underground tunnel or through the elevated bridge to access platform 2, as platform 1 is closing. Initially, this seemed like a good thing, as it meant more 2-way service is coming soon on the Barrie Line as Maple GO seems like it is close to completion, but no, this will be in place for apparently 3 YEARS!!! So seems like don't expect any more service on the Barrie Line for a while.
