I believe the Brantford train is an express, so it goes Toronto-London in the same time as it takes a train to go Toronto-Kitchener.
It's not so much express (it still has several stops) so much as it is traveling on much higher quality tracks. While the KW-London portion (especially Stratford->London) trundles along at about 60 km/h for most of the trip, and portions of Guelph are around 10 km/h, the London-Toronto line Via Brantford rarely drops under 100 km/h.
