Among those concerns: the project taking years longer to build than expected, going way over budget and a lack of full-day service.

“We’re working on it right now and I’m hoping it’s a solution that equals or betters the previous government’s timeline,” said Yurek.

Park said Metrolinx is currently researching four options that will still get the GO train to Bowmanville, as was initially intended.
