I just looked at their schedule. I would not trust it to get me to London from Waterloo
Monday to Friday, their AM Waterloo connection arrives at the same time at Stratford, and lists a 5 minute buffer at St. Mary's. The PM trip, you miss the connection in Stratford by 8 minutes, and only have 5 mins in St. Mary's. The Mid day run does not connect
Weekends look a bit better, with a 14 minute buffer at Stratford and 17 at St. Mary's for the AM trip, and 20 minutes at Stratford, and 18 Minutes at St. Marys for the PM, but the Mid day does not connect at all.
For me to consider that on a weekday, unless I was in a tight bind, they need to improve the connections. All you need is for some traffic lights to not cooperate and you miss the connection an are stuck in Stratford or St. Mary's.
I don't think the service was meant to get people from Kitchener to London, but to serve the destinations in between.
