Happened to see the UP going into Union this morning as I passed under the tracks at Simcoe, might have decent video of it.
The UPX trains weren't running on any set schedule Monday afternoon when I saw 3 eastbound trains within 10 minutes. Even the westbound were all over the place.
Not sure when I will have the photos on line, but here are the videos for what they are worth. Will have to re-shoot with the other camera this week.

From Pearson, you would have to walk about 90-120 minutes to Weston. From Union to Bloor at least 90 minutes if not more for both depending on your age and what you have with you.Just curious.
How long would the walk be from the Union Pearson Express station to the first (and last) check-in lines at YYZ?
In comparison, how long would the walk be from the Union Billy Bishop Local stop (509 Harbourfront, which is already electric) to the first (and last) check-in lines at YTZ?
Or should we wait until the tunnel opens, for a better comparison?
... I think you misinterpreted the question.From Pearson, you would have to walk about 90-120 minutes to Weston. From Union to Bloor at least 90 minutes if not more for both depending on your age and what you have with you.
Take transit, the better way or get a cab.

You can get the distance easily from Google Maps. How long a walk it is for a person depends.
At Pearson, it's 250m from the station to the closest check-in counters. 500m to the furthest. There are 2 elevator rides required.
At Billy Bishop, it's 530m from the Bathurst stop, following the tunnel, to the check-in counters. There's an elevator and a long escalator ride required.
And the LINK train to Terminal 3.At Pearson, it's 250m from the station to the closest check-in counters. 500m to the furthest. There are 2 elevator rides required.

What elevator rides are required at Pearson?
I believe one elevator ride would be required from arrivals (Level 1), to Level 1 Canadian/US gates, or to International departures (Level 3).

Oof, you got me. I last took the LINK in 2012, so I apparently forgot that it has just a ramp to get to the connecting bridge.If you use one of the kiosks to check in for your flight....there is a bank of them on that "mini" level.....then you can walk around the stairs and proceed through security. Of course you can also do this if you have checked in prior to leaving the city or on route to airport on train. So no stairs/elevators/escalators.
