The plan it to eventually replace all diesel on the GO network with overhead electric wiring and pantograph on the train. This will speed up acceleration out of the stations, as each car will be motive, and allow GO to increase frequencies because of the faster speeds of the trains and less need for large headways between them. The first phase is expected to be an upgraded Union Pearson Express (which shares the Kitchener line through Toronto).
