Oxford County, eh? They are not set to get any stops on the current plan for the line, but it would go through its northern part. Sounds like they don't like the idea of a project using their territory but not stopping within it.
But if they want a station, I can't see where they'd put it. They don't even have a sizable town between London and Kitchener.
Well, there is Woodstock but I see no reason why we should support a stop in Oxford County. The Region of Waterloo wants an interchange on the 401 at Trussler Rd. but that's on the border with Oxford County and they see no benefits and certainly don't want to pay for half of it. So, likewise, there is no benefit to Waterloo Region by having a stop in Woodstock.
