High-Speed Rail (HSR) - Toronto/Pearson/Kitchener/London
59 minutes would be quite lovely, I think, and even the current GO trains would theoretically be able to reach that (though I don't know whether they can accelerate fast enough for your calculation).

What kills this (and makes real HSR difficult, too) is the plethora of level crossings and slow segments through cities. That's expensive to fix, politically challenging and totally unglamorous -- and yet the gating factor to achieving any serious speed-up of the train service.
