A question for all the upcoming TWAD trips would be how many available locomotives and passenger cars does GO have for those timeframes? If we've learned anything about vehicles, it's that it's a long process to procure them. If we're missing trains, given their timelines, that's where you start to measure how serious a government is.
After a few times being in Germany, I was impressed by how many trips work seamlessly by what seem to be two-car LRVs. They would do the equivalent of driving from London to Stratford to Kitchener to Guelph, on a regular basis (can't recall if it was 60 or 30 min frequency), but within those cities, they would stop at several locations, not just the central location, acting akin to an LRT route in town, helping people get closer to their destination, or avoid additional transfers.
