ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

What I've heard from GRT is that they're going for as few changes to detour routings as possible.   This is why there were ridiculous things like the iXpress taking the Queen/Courtland/Benton jog, even when Charles St was wide open.  It was so that the route was predictable for the drivers, whenever the closure actually started.

I suspect that GRT will be hesitant to put anything back on King until we have rails in the ground.  I think it might be possible to convince them to take the iXpress back to King via Wellington so they can serve the hospital again, but I don't see the 7 moving off Park St, (Victoia to Union) until the King grade separation is done.
