I suppose.
I am perhaps using "commuter" in the wrong meaning here. I hope nobody is doing a regular London -> KW commute. I more mean, traveling to KW for the occasional meeting. Generally those will be scheduled a little more conservatively than the usual 9-5 workday.
That being said, the flip side to that is the lack of a reverse commute option, I know we like to think we're great and all, but it's almost as likely that someone would be working in London and living in KW. And frankly, that applies to the entire GO network outside of Toronto.
I think the problem with the reverse commute right now is that GO is constrained between Brampton and Bramalea. The frequency of trains heading east after 9am drops to every hour, which I guess allows them to start squeezing the westbound trains in.
