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

[BuildingScout]

The 2011 feasibility study finds:

• must have government pay at least half of upfront costs
  
• full Quebec City - Windsor not sustainable,
  

Exactly, that's the one I'm referring to. Quebec-Windsor was not sustainable because the Toronto-Windsor segment skipped over the stop at KW. If you think about it KW is likely to be an end point of 60-70% of the ridership in that segment: if the Toronto-Windsor corridor were to be built the majority of the riders would be people commuting from London<->KW and KW <-> Toronto (either direction), with the remaining 30% being Toronto<->London and Windsor<->Toronto.

Here's the quote:

From the point of view of the Ontario economy as a whole, all scenarios were shown to be economically

feasible, except the Toronto – Windsor segment with E300+ technology, which had a negative NPV.
