Thanks! Looking through that document, it does actually say 7. For 2021-2024 it says 7.5 minutes peak headway for 2021-2024 although that obviously didn't turn out to be true. It'd be nice to have more frequent trains already. It's particularly annoying waiting around when it's raining or in the winter, especially because the platforms aren't entirely sheltered against the elements. They have a "roof", but no sides and the only enclosure are those bus shelter sized things...plus they only installed heating in like 1 or 2 of them.
Looks like they'll be anticipating running two trains by 2025, although with the way the Region of Waterloo operates that might not happen so soon. I really hope they do add more, however, because the train is always usually standing room only during rush hour.
