I agree that the current government is far more pro-transit (one of the key reasons I like them) than past or likely alternative governments, I'm not holding my breath though.
I think the response to the region's forthcoming request for funding for the transit hub will be quite telling as to how dedicated this government is to transit outside of the GTHA.
On a related note, I cannot continue on in ignorance. What precisely is meant by "two-way" service? I mean, is there only one way service now?
I lived in (well, near) a city in England which was of a similar size to K-W and oh how I wish we could have a similar inter-city rail system. The town I lived in was about the size of Stratford, ON and about a 20 minute drive to the city. There were easily 15 trains a day between the two, right up until about midnight. And from the city station, you could get to every other city in the UK.
I realize it's a pipe dream to wish for that here, but our goal should be something akin to that, certainly here in southern Ontario.
