Budd cars are also essentially older versions of DMUs as well. YDHR has a couple of them without engines sitting as their trainset currently.

Service update; Barrie service going to 20 min in January with one additional train.
It is not clear to me what you are asking.....the KW GO corridor is the one that goes closest to the airport as is (and why the UPX is using this corridor before splitting off...and will be using rolling stock very similar to what you post)........if you are going to run these up Highway 10 to orangeville that is essentially what the OBRY does (just west of 10 in a meandering fashion) and Shontron has already exposed some weaknesses in that idea.
So Barrie will only get new service after 2015 right?Yup, all the signals are in place, all the way up to Painswick where the main track begins(its just south of Barrie South, the rest of the line is "subdivision track" where provisions of rule 105, "other than main track" apply). Although they haven't been activated yet, perhaps there's still some work that wouldn't be visible that still needs to be done i.e. connectivity, software, testing.

Anybody know the status of the CTC install along the GEXR (Georgetown Silver to London) line?
No, the signal system will be activated shortly - within the next month, allowing for increased train frequencies. The line will be completely signalize from mile 3.0(where it connects to the Weston sub) to mile 59.3 mile(Barrie South). The last 3.7 miles to Allendale will remain as is, likely because the city didn't want GO trains rocketing through the community at 60+ mph, where as the current speed (30mph) and system of control work just fine as is.
Currently there is only 1 train every 30 mins, but as of January 2014 train frequency will be increased to one train every 20 minutes, during rush hour only of course. With one new additional train originating out of Barrie. There might also be another train that will go as far as King City/Aurora/Newmarket, as 20 min intervals will allow for 7 trains in a 2 period as opposed to the current 5. But only 6 trains can go all the way to Barrie since there currently is only track space for 6 in the yard. It's also possible that there might be an additional trains in the early afternoon that turn around at Maple/King City(where the second track is) as was seen on the Stouffville line once the CTC signal system and passing track was completed on the Uxbridge sub and the trains turn around at Mount Joy.
