It is much faster that the dog slow GO train, however the only Kitchener stop is at Sportsworld.
Thanks Acitta that's great info. Fortunately I'm only going to take the train TO London, not from London as my return trip from London will be direct to Belleville and I'll probably take Via for that.
If it was just me, I'd definitely consider taking the bus, but as I am traveling with my family, including a toddler and suitcases, the GO train, albeit longer, seems like it'd be more comfortable than trying to get a stroller on a bus all the way down at sportsworld.
(I will say, it's stupid for buses to come to sportsworld given the ION doesn't make it there...Fairway would make more sense...but I've always felt Sportsworld was a mediocre stop).
Since the bus goes between Toronto and London, stopping anywhere else would just make the trip longer for those travelling between London and Toronto. The good news is that since it started, ONex has moved from minivans to full size buses, so maybe demand will increase enough to have some buses start in DTK. I can only hope.
