Province Takes Next Step Towards Two-Way, All-Day GO Service on Kitchener Line
The business case + initial RFQ for upgrades to the Kitchener corridor are finally out. With Metrolinx issuing the RFQ we're finally seeing the first real action on 2WAD GO.
The only part I'm confused about, is that the business case suggests there's two options for 2WAD GO. A 98 min travel time with no rail-rail grade separate at Silver Junction, or a 90 min travel time with the grade separation. The business case says the costs aren't justified, and appears to recommend the 98 min travel time option. However, the release I've linked above says the expected travel time for Kitchener-Union is 90 mins.
