That said, I'd love to see the replacement shuttle setup used to someday bring overnight bus service on the 301.
The LRT is supposed to run both ways on the northbound track during freight hours. Operating this way, the only conflict between LRT and freight is between the switch in Waterloo Town Square parking lot to the crossover near the Perimeter Institute.
Except that I just took a look at the ION schedule, and it shows a scheduled 10 minute travel time between Northfield and Waterloo Public Square/Willis Way, implying that only a 20 minute headway can be maintained between those points on a single track with no intermediate passing sidings, but the schedule calls for 15 minute headway right up to the end of service at 01:00. So now I’m confused about what they are planning.
