And there are no GO trains running that day so they have maximum flexibility to keep things running well.
With schedules being adjusted May 4, I would expect daylight test runs of GO and UPX simultaneously.

April 22, 2015 - Metrolinx will be introducing a free wifi hotspot in the bathroom at Yorkdale bus terminal. "Our unprecedented public transit investments are making transit a better choice for commuters," said Steven Del Duca, as he stands in front of a toilet to perform his self-congratulatory BS. "This is further proof of our government’s commitment to ease congestion and make the quality of life better for Ontario families". Bruce McCuaig, President and CEO of Metrolinx, was also on hand for this exciting announcement. "Whether it's an easy-to-use mobile GO website, service alerts delivered right to your inbox, or free Internet access while you shit, we’re committed to giving our customers the innovative tools they need to stay in the know".
This project is part of the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario's history. This is just one way we’re transforming transit.
Perhaps you'll be lucky that your plane will be so late, you can catch the train first thing in the AM.I'm on a flight arriving at Pearson late the evening of June 5. Bummer.
[Edit: Argh, Adjei beat me to the punchline. Let us fight antirubbertireist prejudice together ]
So it's actually a Maglev.
Global News did a time lapse video of the UPX train going from Union to Pearson. Runs for 3 minutes. Shows all the progress on the Georgetown South Project. Provides a helpful perspective on what's left to finish:

That one is a good chuckle of a parody... But shouldn't Steve be sitting down on it for that?April 22, 2015 - Metrolinx will be introducing a free wifi hotspot in the bathroom at Yorkdale bus terminal.

Still not as fast as Japan's new Shinkansen maglev under construction, the one they're now building to open in 2027. It just broke a 600kph record in tests. We need to electricify UPX to beat that speed in a time lapse videoHmm... punching some numbers in...
23.3 km run
25 minute actual run time
3.5 minute accelerated run time
The video shows an apparent average speed of 399.4 km/h!

Holy crap, that video is amazing. The train zipping along the guideway was definitely a sight to behold.
