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.

"In fact, no one taiks about asking taxpayers for permission te increase taxes.» Shepherd says legai and tax experts are working on bis idea for a taxpayers' biiiof 'ghts, and lie also weicorne input from con- stituents. 9presented by Durham Centre MPP Drunimond White before Christmas, neither the Ontario povernment nor GO Transit bas mdicated that ail-day service will ýeturn anytime soon. However, Whitbýy Mayor Tom Edwards was optimistic follow- ingFriaysmeeting. 'It wen very .weii. The GO Transit commission were quite taken with the commenta we made"» he said. Besides Edwards and Her- rema Oshawa Mayor Nancy Dia- mond, Ajax Mayor Jim Witty and Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre attended the meeting. Pickering Mayor ayne Arth- urs was not present because his municipality cid not lose ail-day service, Edwards noted.. 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. Local politicians contend bhat- fuil train service is crucial te their efforts in enticing businesses te locate in Durham. Queen's Park, however dlaims, the number of peopfle riding the train during off-peak hours does not warrant increased service.
