I like the point about outside the box thinking. If Cambridge is serious they should investigate re-laying track on the old right of way east of Water St. that heads south through Branchton and Harrisburg to intercept the double-track CN mainline from Brantford to Dundas. If you could lay that single track and then triple-track the CN portion to the Lakeshore line, you could run an all day hourly service. If Cambridge payed for the study and found it to be feasible, what would Metrolinx do with that information? I seem to recall that the Missing Link being negotiated with CN to un-bottleneck the Kitchener line came out of a municipally funded study...
