What would you reckon the difference in travel times to be between the two options? We would need to know that, but if it's anything significant at all I can't see how it would be worth using King even though a Sportsworld station nearer to King would be better.
clasher's right that the Maple Grove option is a head-scratcher. There is literally nothing at that proposed station on Maple Grove at Speedsville. Maybe there's something to be said for a blank slate, but a routing that puts a station in greenfields and gives up the opportunity to locate one walkable to downtown Preston doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
