And I see from the UW thread that the same thing is planned for crossing points along UW campus as well.
We still don't know exactly what mid-route timings are going to look like but I have to imagine the trip from Conestoga to Uptown is going to be considerably quicker than today's 200 iXpress, and probably a fair bit quicker than the 7C (at least during rush hour.) The improved directness, higher average speed and reduced boarding times are going to combine for big time savings.
Do we know at all what mid-route timings have been like? I haven't seen any idea of what they might be.
You have to be right that the trip between Uptown and Conestoga will be a lot quicker than the iXpress, if only for the more direct routing. I'd be really curious as to whether there's any clue as to run times between the stations near the centre of the line.
