High-Speed Rail (HSR) - Toronto/Pearson/Kitchener/London

[ookpik]

I was surprised to see suburban rail routings in Zurich which did not go through the Hauptbahnhof. Wouldn't happen in today's Ontario.

The origin/terminus of some trains between Zurich and cities like Luzern, Basel and Geneve is actually at the airport, not the main train station. Those trains also stop at Zurich HB, of course. But the idea is that passengers arriving at ZRH have options where they only need to schlep their luggage once onto a train. They don't need to do it again a short while later at Zurich HB in order to transfer. Another option is to check their luggage through to their final destination train station. Those clever Swiss think of everything

I suspect it will be a while before something similar exists between Pearson, Union and Oshawa, Kingston, etc.
