Among the future expansion plans, the article lists a station named "Cawartha", both in the article text and in one of the diagrams. As far as I know, there is no such street. I'm guessing this is a misspelling of Cawthra Street, which does exist and does cross the proposed subway line. I'd like to get peer approval before I change it though, since I don't know for sure (I'm not an authority on TTC stuff). Anyone? [[User:Tronno|Tronno]] 06:15, 3 December 2005 (UTC) |

*I think you're right. It makes a lot of sense to me given that there is no "Cawartha Street" (with a "c".) [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] | [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 14:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC) |

* FYI--Cawthra ROAD is a North-South road in Mississauga, a former concession road in the southern section of the former Toronto Township between Eglinton and Lakeshore.....At Dundas, the intersection was bridged in the 1980s, and the CP tracks (and Milton GO line) is nearby..... |

BTW, when the 403 turns west south of Eglinton (from 401/410 southwards), it is the Cawthra Road allowance that proceeds south to Lakeshore. [[User:Bacl-presby|Bacl-presby]] 17:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC) |

It's a bit confusing, but the TTC's RTES actually has "Milton GO Line" in block letters by the stop rather than "Milton GO Station", which isn't even in Mississauga (it's the terminus station in Milton). Since Dixie is also on the Milton GO line, I'm not sure why the TTC didn't call the stop Cooksville, but I've changed the name in this article anyhow to clarify which GO station it actually is. --[[User:AHrvojic|AHrvojic]] 19:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC) |

The article needs to be updated to mention that the extension to Scarborough Centre would remove a station at Lawrence and McCowan (where [[Scarborough General Hospital (Toronto)|Scarborough General Hospital]] is).

Why have the Bloor-Danforth western extensions been added to the Stations Template and the Wikipedia in general? It's listed as a low-priority extension, and one that doesn't have that many fans both in the TTC and Mississauga Transit, so why bother? The Spadina extension should be up there because it looks like it might be completed. |

Joeyconnick said: " not really sure Steve Munro qualifies as a WP:RS... we should be quoting documents and minutes, not a private citizen reporting that information".
WP:RS says "Self-published material may sometimes be acceptable when its author is an established expert whose work in the relevant field has been published by reliable third-party publications." Steve Munro has published articles in the main stream press and is also sought out from time to time by main stream reporters for opinion.
