It's also a few hundred metres closer to the hospital than Weber/Union. Good. Still over a km, though.
There seems to have been an update to the GRT ‘Detours’ page, listing this detour (and I presume the temporary temporary stop at Weber/Guelph) as in place from January 11 through January 25. It had previously said 6 weeks. I’m unsure if they will keep the stop when the 200 can use (some of) King in a few weeks, but I doubt it.
If the stop at Weber and Guelph is useful to you, please let GRT know. Especially with both King and Waterloo closed, restricting access by foot to the service at King and Victoria, there are a lot of people between Victoria and Union for whom the utility of the iXpress is greatly diminished. It seems senseless not to have a stop somewhere between King and Victoria and King and Union (which is something like three kilometers along the Weber routing), but that’s the situation it’s been for the better part of a year, until last week.
