If you make such a line light rail instead of heavy rail, then all the street car fanatics are going to want to put a stop at every intersection. Plus the trains will have to stop at red lights.I can get behind the concept of a Guelph-Kitchener-Cambridge-Brantford-(Hamilton?) transit web, and this would fit within that. There may be merit in looking at how to get that new network away from being road dependent. I see it however as separate from GO Transit and possibly a lighter-rail service similar to Ottawa's Trillium Line, using less than heavy rail equipment which, like Ottawa and KW LRT, may imply temporally separated from any freight operation. It may be best operated as some sort of cooperative inter-Regional entity and not driven from the Provincial level.
Heavy rail ensures a faster trip. Make it part of the GO network.
