Interesting that they are leaving 20 minutes to go one stop from Waterloo Public Square to Waterloo Park, but 15 mins to go from there all the way to Conestoga

I hadn't noticed that.
I was surprised UW was not on the list. But I guess they did some promotional work their a few months ago right?

This list is a tease, I would like to be on it between the stops not at the stops.

That’s why the engines are different. I saw it go past my window but didn’t connect the engines with the change in operator. My kid will miss the “LLPX brothers”.

While I wholeheartedly want to agree - born, raised and living in K-W my entire life, waiting for us to 'get to the next level' - the news about not only Hamilton, but London working on or getting (?) their own LRT diminished this one, oh ever so slightly ha. K-W won't have that 'one up' on those cities.
All a wash if we can get a rapid train to connect K-W to downtown Toronto in 45 mins - booya.

That's who the tour is for, no?

I'm not really interested in one-upping other cities, but Hamilton's LRT is (still, surprisingly) not a done deal at this point, and London isn't building an LRT (and their BRT project is currently paused).
If you're always thinking about getting to the next level, how can you ever appreciate the city as it is today?
