It looks like Metrolinx is starting to plan for / announce improvements along the Georgetown - Kitchener stretch of track.
Exhibit A: Planned improvements west of Guelph Station
No timeline given, but one can assume the end of the GEXR maintenance agreement next year is the catalyst for this moving forward.
