Here's what I envision in terms of a conceptual future rail network:
Only rail lines with passenger service are shown.
Red lines are built to HSR standards
Black are electrified conventional lines
Grey are unelectrified
I imagine following classes of service could exist once the infrastructure is there:
Super-Express (No-Stop Direct HSR to directly compete with airlines)
Toronto - Montreal (via South Ottawa Bypass)
Toronto - Ottawa - Montreal - Quebec
Toronto - Buffalo - New York
Toronto - Windsor/Detroit - Chicago
Express (Downtown to Downtown)
Toronto - Pearson 427 - Kitchener Central - London Central - Windsor/Detroit
Toronto - Hamilton North - Niagara Falls (Can/USA) - Buffalo
Toronto - Oshawa - Kingston - Ottawa - Dorval - Montreal Gare Centrale
Limited (Stops Only at Major GO Transfer Nodes)
Toronto - Bloor - Pearson 427 - Bramalea - Guelph - Hespeler 401 - Cambridge Delta
Toronto - Sunnyside - Long Branch(?) - Port Credit - Aldershot - Hamilton Central/Hamilton North
Toronto - Square One
etc..
Intercity (Serving Medium Sized Cities)
Toronto - Pearson 427 - Brampton - Georgetown - Guelph - Kitchener
London - Woodstock - Brantford - Hamilton North - St Catharines - Niagara Falls (CAN)
etc...
Regional (GO-Type stop spacing with DMU/EMUs)
London - Fanshawe - St Mary's - Stratford - Shakespeare - New Hamburg - Ira Needles - Kitchener
London - Gore - Dorchester - Ingersoll - Woodstock - Bonds Corners - Paris - Brantford - Lynden - Copetown - Dundas - Hamilton North
Ira Needles - Kitchener - Riverbend - Breslau - Imperial North - Guelph - Imperial South - Blackbridge - Hespeler 401 - Preston - Cambridge Delta
etc...
Local
What happens when you give the UPX subway-type spacing (no, I'm not calling it Smart Track, or surface subways)
