Where is the Northlander gonna stop at Toronto Union?

I am not a track layout expert or what, but I am pretty sure that it will cause serious issues on LE and ST if the Northlander uses the VIA platform and crosses all the way to RH track at the north, if it is even possible. However, platform 3 (The one that RH is using right now) is nothing close to the need of the service with separate entrances, witing areas and the capacity to hold the number of people getting on/off the Siemens Venture. I don't see any work being done at Union, so does anyone have a good speculation about where the Northlander will stop at Union without disrupting GO trains while living up to its expensive price?

Not sure am I just overtinking, but according to the two pictures attached for schedules of northlander and northbound richmobd Hill line could have a problem with each other if the turnback of the 18:49 trains just delayed a little bit, since north of John the tracks are just single tracked, abd only gormley and bloomington have more than one track. If the orthlander is going up, and the turning go is heading south, it might be a problem. So are they gonna cut the last train of RH line to keep safe?
