39 Kitchener is a route operated by GO Transit that serves between Guelph Central GO Station and Bramalea GO Station, connected with train services to Toronto Union Station. Despite the name, it does not service Kitchener. This is a peak period directional service, with service to Bramalea GO Station in the morning and service to Guelph Central GO Station in the afternoon. It is part of the Kitchener series of GO Transit routes.
History
Route 39 was implemented during a board change period on December 31, 2011, operating one eastbound trip and three westbound trips, all from connecting trains at Bramalea GO.
Double decker buses were introduced to route 39 in September 2013.

Fine, I'll say it.
If they landed an agreement with CN on the freight bypass, I wonder if they landed an agreement to build the Lakeshore East extension to Bowmanville.
It's weird timing, but I'm also thinking it could be a huge cash dump so shovels are in the ground during the 2018 election (or sooner if the Liberals lose the 2 upcoming by-elections and four additional MPPs).
In Bowmanville? AFAIK, the opening phase of the 407E only goes as far as Harmony Rd in Oshawa.Could this just be for the opening of 407 East? I don't know much about it but I know that's happening tomorrow, right?
correct...and the big event for that was just the other day....even this MoT would not space re-announcements that close togetherIn Bowmanville? AFAIK, the opening phase of the 407E only goes as far as Harmony Rd in Oshawa.
I think you're right, it's the padding of the schedule that has them waiting in Guelph, the only possible reason being departure time for those one or two passengers that take the train back to K-W from Guelph. There's no rail traffic at that time, the local GEXR freights long gone earlier in the day back west. It adds insult to injury as to how slow that train can and does move.

Any chance it could be an agreement with CP to use that route to get to Bowmanville? That was the route that was studied I believe.

Premier Wynne announces expansion of GO Train service to Bowmanville. 4 new stations. Start by 2024.

GO Train will come up and over the 401 to bring it to more population dense areas of Courtice and Bowmanville.
Likely track sharing agreements, so that GO and CP can divert onto each others' tracks when there is an incident. There also seems to be some track and siding re-alignments.Looking at the Bowmanville EA drawings, I wonder what kind of agreement GO had to come to with CP do to this? Would the trackage rights and fees be less because it looks like from the drawings they are building a separate parallel track?
