Région chair Gar }errema and? mayors of Durhan'4 south- ern municipalities met w!Ith GO Transit ofciaisFriday te ress their case.for a return te a il-day train service. Non-rush hour service beyond Pickering wa9 eliminated 'asl part of a province-wide cost cutting initiative by GO Transit almost two years ago.

Describing it as the first of a «whoie series of stepa,» Edwards said the GO board made no commitments on Friday. But Edwards did not expect any tobe made 50 soon. "I think it's important for Dur- ham Region and GTA (Greater Toronto Area) mayors to make presentations,"he said. "There seems to be common acceptance that we need to return to fuli-daLy service." Edwards said the timing of the meeting could not have been better since GO officiais were stili in a buoyant mood foilowing the commencent of full rush hour Investment Acsor DONALD R.

But'as hast bee itbe case for Whitby and Ajaxthe pat several months, commuter must rely on bus connections between Picker- ing and the other municipalities during off-pealc bours.
