So CBC is talking about Cambridge-Guelph service, it seems the idea is a shuttle with dedicated smaller trains that would connect to Toronto service in Guelph.
I'm completely in favour of this so long as it maintains good connections; hooking it up to Ion service at Hespeler/Pinebush seems to be the idea, and I think having GO buses stop there as well could tie all that together. An intermediate stop on Guelph Ave just north of the river in Hespeler would also be a good move.
The trickiest part, I think, is Guelph station itself. It's being built with two tracks and platforms for through trains; this service would terminate. I suppose a third track and platform could be squeezed in just to the south, but it could get crowded with the Chamber of Commerce building.
Apparently more details are due in May.
