No way. The part at Kent St. is no more than 200m long. At 10 km/h (which is really slow) that would take well under 2 minutes. I vaguely recall that the train goes slowly all the way through Guelph however (it’s been a while since I rode through there). It’s possible that the slow order adds significant time, but if so most of it has nothing to do with Kent St. So most of the slow order, in particular the more important part that is not right near the station, could be lifted with some right-of-way improvement that would not affect Kent St.
