One thing to note is the CN Halton project is way larger then the public thinks, to the extent it'll take years to get substantial progress, the flyover is obviously a critical part but there's way more going on with it then just that.

A reminder that Mount Dennis station, recently opened on the Kitchener Line, is now the western terminus of the Line 5 LRT. Should make connections in the north and west parts of Toronto easier for those coming from our area.

Mount Dennis also has a UP Express connection to the airport, running every 15 minutes (I think the ride length is about eight minutes). Getting from DTK to YYZ by transit is suddenly much more convenient. And it'll keep getting better as more trains are added on the Kitchener line in the future.

Most of the train trips leaving Kitchener are express from Bramalea, so the connection at Mount Dennis is unfortunately somewhat moot. Weston is also the somewhat better station to connect to UP Express, 12 minutes to Pearson rather than 16.

It looks like the same set of trains for both stations (9:53, 12:53, 15:53, 21:53, 22:53 from Union). The late afternoon/early evening trains don't make that stop so there is still no avoiding the rush-hour traffic if your flight lands somewhere in that gap.

Hopefully in the future they will either add a non-express somewhere in the set, or create a semi-express that makes a few stops, like the UP connection.
