The population figures will not be the whole story, as I don't expect a London-Brampton trip, for example, to attract a lot of pax in spite of Brampton's large population.
I should hope that GO has done their market research to determine where people would want to get to (from London) but I have no actual data.
I do not get the sense this decision is based in market research.
Or the selection of the route was based on market research -- and then they ignored the research when they set the schedule.
