Yes, it will be great. The UP Express won’t stop here, but the GO Pearson Line will.

The UPX is essentially GO's Pearson line. Not stop is planned for here, but if I remember the public meeting correctly, it could conceivably be added.

Is this the stupid express / local service that was announced and quickly walked back last week?

I believe it's more the plan to wrap it into a regular GO service as a part of the GO expansion program. Needs some decent capital spending to do it though so it will be a few years before it happens.

Are we able to get rid of the Nippon Sharyo lemons as part of this?

Knowing Toronto, the new UPX will be a regular, lumbering diesel GO train that gives strong Tim Hortons vibes (folksy and depressing). It will have an erratic schedule and you will connect to it from the airport by a perpetually-delayed bus.

We will dismantle the spur that we just built 10 years ago after a brief discussion about turning it into either a linear park or a busway. Travel times to and from downtown will triple and we'll all accept that there was apparently no other option.
