In addition the the crawl down Kent Street, there is also a slow order at the Guelph Junction to the West.

What's the rationale behind that one? Can it be resolved when they double-track?

The actual switch at Guelph junction is in bad shape and needs to be replaced.

Getting control of the Bramalea-Georgetown section and being free to set their own schedule is the upshot. At the same time they'll be doubling the tracks. That amount of freedom of movement will be a real help.

Absolutely. But building that 30 km plus the improvements to the (too-shallow?) tunnel under the 401 would need the seven years, I thought.

Where is this 401 tunnel?
09-03-2017, 08:31 PM
Beside the current tunnel (approximately between 427 and 409) to add track capacity.

Oh, so way in Toronto - I was thinking this expansion needed to happen somewhere partway between Toronto and KW.

The tunnel is just one of the projects required for expansion to the Kitchener line.
CN Freight Bypass, double tracking from Georgetown through Kitchener along with whatever grade separation are required, electrification, and other projects all work together to enhance the whole.

Metrolinx has released a draft Regional 2041 Transportation Plan:
http://www.metrolinx.com/en/docs/pdf/boa...ort_EN.pdf Hidden within the report on page 77 is the draft 2041 HOV and Regional Express Bus network, which has some interesting nuggets for this part of the GGH: Regional Express Bus (every 30-60 minutes)
Metrolinx has also put up the presentation slides used for the August 30 presentation to Council re: Kitchener Corridor expansion: https://www.metrolinxengage.com/en/engag...loo-region

Let's hope it doesn't take that long to make them happen.

Looks like the Aberfoyle-Hamilton route hits Aldershot. If this gets weekend service, I'm all over it.
