After GO RER and electrification, what is the expected travel time for the Barrie-Union express?
The original plan had express service from Aurora to Union after making all stops from Allandale with a travel time around 65 minutes BUT the electrification update has the "express" skipping only King City and Maple stations.
New stations like St. Clair don't appear on the frequency chart. Increasing ridership will also slow down service over time due to increased dwell time at stations.
It'll be moderately faster than todays travel time, but not a whole lot. So perhaps 90 minutes from Allandale to Union.

It's a 2 track corridor for most of the length. A Hamilton style super-express would be stuck behind the local trains making all stops for the entire trip.Well, I was thinking a Hamilton style "super express" skipping all or most other stops could produce significant time savings.
